This was immensely helpful and the install went seamlessly. THANK YOU JUSTIN!

I had to go buy an 11/32 bit but that was definitely a perfect size for those plastic rivets.

FYI - if anyone is wondering you need to get the part from your VW Dealer, not from some aftermarket/Amazon outfit. Mine was made in Slovakia same as the car and it fit perfectly.

...and yes, my car was from Alberta, Canada and they only use one plate because they are the renegade province of Canada!!
