Hi Paul
My MKIV came with a factory fitted tonneau cover and dealer fit wing mirrors. I can't get any measurements for you as I don't have the car here at uni with me, but below is a picture of the car, you can just about make out the poppers on top of the door, and see where the mirrors were fitted. I dont think there would have been a specific place to mount the mirrors, as I think the majority were fitted by the dealers anyway.

Paul,
The hole positions for a factory fitted door mirror are 167mm back from front door edge and 80mm down from door top. This will give you the first hole position, your plastic mount will then give you the second rearward hole position, but needs to be in-line obviously. It is a good idea to mount one on the passenger door as well.
Your tonneau cover will dictate where the door poppers need to be mounted to ensure a good fit. Make sure that you fit plastic to plastic or metal to metal poppers as they do not mix!
