@bt , My VS came with the 'C' style seal, but I've never seen it advertised at any VW supplier.

On my car, it's not a 'ring' like the VW part Gordon mentions. It looks like a hardware store edge trim product that comes on a long roll and was cut to a length to match the circumference of the chrome trim ring.

For that reason, it's a pain getting to stay in place while fitting the headlight back onto the car. I've now hit on taping it to the chrome ring with masking tape until the light is mounted, and then removing the tape.

Once in place though, it does protect the paint. A quick check on Amazon found this, which looks like it's the right size and should work. You can get more than you need for $8, so it might be worth the risk, but maybe check your local hardware, first?

Cheers!

A dot of super glue in a few places will make the seal stay put while you install the headlight.
