Default '88 Seatbelt light lens

One day noticed the two lenses on the dash had disappeared; but not sure when. It appears this is quite common but don't recall a post on this issue. Searching the floor of the car, the upper lens was found but not the lower "seatbelt" lens. Was told these are, long ago, NLA, per Parts Heaven. If anybody has a lens or knows of a reproduction, PM me. Thx!

I have an extra one of these "combination lenses" but it is slightly scratched and it is a single lens that covers all three warning lights. I will try to PM you a photo of it in the coming days. I got a replacement on ebay.
My three way combination warning light has a different problem. It seems as if two of the three tiny little light bulbs that is soldered to the small circuit board that sits behind this lens are blown. I have no idea how to specify these small light bulbs when searching for replacements. Back in January I logged this as a technical query on the PCA website but have not had any luck with a response.

Same issue on my '88. Anyone know of a second one available? I covered that area with black electrical tape and hole punched a hole over the brake light area. Works OK,
but certainly not original.

I have this same issue. I have a 1989 Targa. I came out to my car and the lens was broken into 2 pieces and laying on the floor. I assume the sun and time had just cause it to split in half horizontally in the center.

Does anyone have an extra lens or know where to get one?

The VW based part 171 919 235 can be used to tidy up a hole, not plug and play but fits with some fetling
