Yes there's no way I'd consider buying a new one from a dealer.

Yeah it's mental.  The parts guy couldn't believe that price either  :grin:  Anything leather and/or seat related is ridiculous money!

VW doesn't sell the leather separately, you have to buy the whole thing.

Genuine Edition 30 is over £400 for the knob and the boot. Crazy money.

Have you looked at replacing the leather boot separately? Looks like an easy job.

The boot's fine, it's the leather on the knob itself that's worn through.
