these ones won't fit your car as they screw on and the ones on your car fit into the rubber.

If the rubbers are old they will be very hard to get back in as the rubber has gone hard. I fitted a new rubber and it went back together very easy.

Hey how can you tell from the pic it only fits screw on ones?? I saw a MK4 in the weekend JUST LIKE MINE with the silver ring and rubber BUT with clear indicator glass like the ones above.

Cheers
