Will these side repeaters fit?

I took my indicator and side repeater off during the weekend and put them in the airing cupboard to get rid of the condensation. It worked fine and none are showing any signs of condensation now.

The problem is I think something's wrong with my side repeater 'cos it keeps falling out when I drive anywhere. So I think probably best to get a new one. Will these from eBay fit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-BORA-GOLF-LUPO ... dZViewItem (ITEM NUMBER: 280231333096)

Or does anyone know where I can get them for cheaper?

The genuine Bora/Golf crystal repeaters do not have all that writing embossed in to the repeater like in the eBay auction. I wouldn't get anything other than the genuine repeaters Alun!

Incidentally my driver's side repeater kept falling out, a mate of mine took a look and showed me that when I popped it back in I wasn't quite getting it to sit right and clip back in to place! Saved me a few bob on new repeaters :)

Cheers

I've tried all kinds of things, and it still won't stay in place. It does click into place but it's still very loose. I'm currently using some sellotape to hold it in :lol:
