Headlight support on slam panel?

Post by dvhttn »

OK. Got a new slam panel (via Fleabay from Poland - a lot cheaper than VW) and the only non-trivial difference is for the little, height-adjustable headlight supports. These are the metal brackets you need to remove the bumper to get to, one per headlight near the outer edge. The new panel does not have the slot and captive nut for the bracket so was wondering is it had been deleted on later cars (mine's a Nov. 2001 car)? If so how did they accomplish the same support?
