WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure shim thickness at several different points using a micrometer. Varying tolerances make it possible to select the precise shim thickness required.
Check shims for burrs and signs of damage.
Only install shims that are in perfect condition.
