I can't help in much detail but I made replacements from vinyl siding
and secured them to the grille using black Ty Raps(TM).  Don't have
the beast any more, so I can't go look.  My present one doesn't seem
to have anything, either missing or never there.

I'm sure VW had a fancier name for them than cardboard, but they
haven't held up well in the weather.  Extremely well, for cardboard, but...
