Still the soft paint but look what I got for only $36 plus shipping. COMES COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. I only used the new cover and PRNDS and satin ring because I didn't want to remove the ball (you can sneak the old cover off). The new ball's button is shiny while mine is satin (not that you would ever see it). I took it apart so I can repaint my old cover the same color after removing the soft paint, to save as a spare.
Lists for $50 if you can find a local dealer to order it (mine wouldn't). It's new old stock. Auburn VW in WA state knows all about it, and as you see heavily discounts it. This is a $300 part folks, if you buy the new part number. Get them while they last. Original p/n belongs to a GLI. Looks identical - has "DSG" on the ball. Same electronics, plugged right into my 2007 GTI.
Auburn's phone # is 888-528-5280. VW P/N is 1K1-713-203-Q-USZ.
Of course, buy and install at your own risk. And BE CAREFUL - pry carefully.
I might be interested in selling the ball and boot at some point.
