The spacing for the holes may differ slightly if you are using original or aftermarket VW armrests. The studs are spaced 5 5/16" (13.5 cm) on center for original and 5 1/2" (14 cm) for after market. I used M6 serrated Flange Nuts (pictured below) to hold them against the door. It is a bit tricky to screw them on, as you will have to blindly reach up into the inside of the door while holding the bottom of the panel away from the door. I found it was best to use a 1/4 drive ratchet to tighten them.
The placement on the door itself will be up to where you feel they are most appropriate. Mine are roughly in the center of the door. Unfortunately, I don'd think I documented the measurements though.
