Yep, plastic thing fails to hold in bearing syndrome.  Ditto what Patrick said.  - Zip tie works reasonably well, but pipe clamp would probably work better.

Push it back in place and make it hold with a nice think tie-wrap or hose<br>clamps (option I used)... 4 years later still holding. :)<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Craig Steiner [mailto:steiner_ca@hotmail.com] <br>Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 7:39 PM<br>To: scirocco-l@scirocco.org<br>Subject: Movable steering column<br><br>This just started yesterday on my 88 16V.
