Does anyone have a replacement front nearside drop glass clip available for purchase please? Image is offside clip, but require nearside. Not sure if clips are sided though.

533837449A is the part number, not sided. It looks like this have been out of production for a long time. Do these easily get knocked off and go missing?
My late GT II doesn't have them and there are no marks to suggest they were ever fitted, so I wonder whether they were not fitted in conjunction with electric windows?

That's a car with great history. I've only had mine for 6 years, but I was lucky to buy it from its first owner.
The parts diagrams show quantity of this clip fitted as "X" which suggests VW may have discontinued the part before end of production or very soon after.
