It's a 17mm hex.

The '81 (and possibly other years) had front shoulder-only belts attached
to the doors, designed to be 'always on', although they could be detached
from the door. If I recall, the car would not start if both belts were not
attached though. I learned to drive on an '81 Rabbit Diesel.. great car, last
time I saw it, it was pushing 500k kms...
