...drivers Oh Sh#t! handle. The one along the headliner. I read before it was a direct replacement but after receiving mine I noticed the mounting points were completely different. Any advice from those who have this install.

Default I did.

Mine lined up perfectly. I got the one from the New Beetle. What year is your car? What year is the "replacement" sunglass holder for?

Default Mine's a 98.5. The mounting points have these little spear-like...

...pieces on them that the O.E. handle doesn't have. Did yours have these on them?

Default Remind me next time we have a KK run - I want to see how it looks...

...and whether my sunglasses will fit in it. If so, then I wanna pick one up.
