I have one with 'tips' to get the fiddely spring back in and the retainer "C" on top, but for the Passat:

RegulatorFix.com under the 'tutorials' tab is the link to the PDF.

http://regulatorfix.com/docs/vwlockrepairv1fv9.pdf

Excerpt: "Step11 : This is where the spring goes in, when you are pushing the paddle down you need to twist it put
the other end of the spring behind the catch roughly in the position of the arrow.
This part was a SERIOUS pain in the arse for me. I dont' have any tips for this, possible long
nails and push the lock against your chest as you put downward pressure and turn it. It does
go in but took me like 3 hrs as I ripped my nails to crap "

I think I red somewhere to take a ball pen apart, put a slot in one of the tubes (for the spring end) to help with twisting and pushing the spring.

I get it sometimes in one minute, but first time took me forever.
