With summer on the way, I'm getting ready to tackle the HVAC blend doors in my '98. Searching for "Porsche Blend Door Plugs" doesn't yield any results, but I know that the VW plugs also work. I just want to make sure I get the right plugs. Will the plugs for the 1992-2005 Golf/Jetta/Beetle/Passat work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/255997335303?fits=Make%3AVolkswagen&itmmeta=01HVRTPTRQZM1GGHKAAH6FT2NZ&hash=item3b9aa15707:g:GbwAAOSw38Ri~fPS&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4DompBbHg%2Bt8hm4XLBxAKk1aPDH %2FAE%2BNKbQOzQRUnTWCaeBn4bQ6Rb8K0FGHjmx6AS28nMF1F voUxSiXg85cT0ka6waevQTGaq%2F%2Ba83hcH4SjSNNAtYJ%2B 9WXZLvynLhijP9gaw3eF81pGVmgYxVfkAbhB%2F86Njj82LGya AHIyYnDn0v2sMug%2FHfMQhXIFpVqrrITmxjlI8fZ7WVKegeMT WtNSHLPTrESRcMYmeh32BY%2BvxN29DjYEgtNPRH1yLV0Cp%2F zAWszcsGFbdSKtKEuY1DClpkaCxn%2F65pXkm%2BaqJby%7Ctk p%3ABFBMyKzbmt5j

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The oblong plugs should work, given that the HVAC box is based on the Golf 4. I looked at photos from when I repaired it on mine. It looks like the kit should close up everything in the box.
Why not just cover the holes with foil tape?
