Hi guys,
I have been trying for awhile to change the cloth top from my arm-rest to leather, something the dealer were unable to figure out when they fitted the part on purchase.
As per several posts on here I purchased 1K0 864 245 arm-rest upper with fabric code 74F Anthracite and this should just have clipped on top of my arm-rest in exchange for my cloth one.
However when I came to fit this last weekend I found this instead! :surprised:

1K0 864 245 C
And this doesnt just have a simple clip mounting, and looks as though the entire lower and upper arm-rest need to be removed in one go! :fighting:
The unit also squeeks alot and I have had to grease it up several times, anyone got any ideas,
a) what the hell the dealer has fitted, and
b) whats the best option for me to get a leather top on this bad boy?

I had the same problem in the end I just sold the whole armrest and bought a leather one. Coincidentally I have a leather one up for sale! :happy2:

No ive got all the bits, im just trying to convert the cloth one pictured to a leather version, I how-ever bought the 1K0 864 245 B 74F top and if my understanding is correct I have a C version arm-rest, which I cant just clip the top off of as per your diagram, it appears to come complete with rails to extend the arm-rest forwards.
So since I cant clip my leather top on (1K0 864 245 B 74F) trying to figure out if I will be able to get a leather top for this one if it can be changed, I would assume I would need 1K0 864 245 C 74F if this part exists?
Or if I would be better to change the lid mechanicals part 10 in your diagram to the B revision which I would assume is 1K0 864 209 B
Do others on here who have the arm rest have the ability to extend the arm-rest forwards or is it just up and down?

Camel do the part number ive assumed appear in ETKA? And if you have the right version whats the price?
1K0 864 245 C 74F which should be part 15.
And if you can how much should part 10 I assume 1K0 864 209 B be?
