thanks to everyone for contributing, real good info. i just love how the crappy VW engineers, saving what a few pinching bucks, put something like this together. vent doors and all. then so many years later we have to go in and go behind them, with difficulty and jungle gyming i might say, contortionist. todd is humble, with a lot of useful added info on this post. so looks like im going to get to it today, maybe thru tomorrow. although i lack to radio removal keys, i ll see how it goes. have experience doing this on mk2, for them its not too difficult, other than some steps, the hardest part(for a mk2) is getting the front vent box clear, and not cracking it. its a little tight, then again we all can relate after a job like this. on the mk2 the doors are now right there. so on to my info. i just love the guy who goes over-board, exhaust tape,haha, real fancy glue. like said its pretty basic a job, and i use al tape, with really good glue, should be permanent. so i have reg.cheapo wally-mart hvac tape, rather cheap, kind of thin, for the real good stuff, yea its cheapo. so i ll double it up. heres my 2cents. so the glue i use is this. looks like it may not be available, as looking on 3-m site, i can find a lesser listing, so see if i can get pic posted
