All lighter socket should have standard size.  Mine can plug in cellphone
charge cable tight.  BTW, don't try to remove the lighter socket,  once you
pull it out (and it's very difficult) , you will damage the seat and it
will loose forever... (of course you can always buy a new one...)

Subject:  Lighter Receptacle '88

My cellphone plug falls out of the existing receptacle in my '88. I believe
that it is larger diameter than the american standard. I tried to get a
different receptacle at my local VW dealer, but they said one was not
available. So I made a copper bushing to reduce the diameter, and it works
fine, but wonder if anybody knows more on subject of american vs. european
standard. Also, I could not seem to remove the receptacle assembly from the
front, and was not willing to remove dash to replace it.
