Re: odd part needed/Rear deck speaker

[freshapple <freshapple@mac.com>]

I was just at the VW dealer trying to order those black rubber pieces for the
rear decklid of an MK2 scirocco.  They said they were discontinued and not
being made anymore.  I compared the length with those on the corrado, they
are the same length and will fit your scirocco, but Golf ones will not fit,
they are too short.
