I snipped the whole thing, sorry.  The wedge of which we're speaking is 
DIRECTIONAL.  It has a bump on the wide end that prevents it from 
slipping down too far.  Be sure it's in right. I "think" the bump faces 
the backing plate, but I don't have a car here to look at, and the 
picture in the Rabbit book is unclear.  It should be obvious, as the 
part it contacts is not there on the other side. However, the original 
description of the problem makes it sound to me as if there may be a 
parts problem, or maybe a drum diameter issue.  There are 3 or 4 sizes 
of shoes and drums in the 
Rabbit/Golf/Jetta/Passat/Quantum/Dasher/Fox/4K/5K/et.al. group.  Maybe more.
