    After buying 4-5 OEM parts for my car (since I bought it in January), I've found a supplier who consistently has the best prices. It's http://www.1stvwparts.com which is Auburn VW (Auburn WA).

    One example; I needed to replace the driver door trim panel that covers the window and mirror switches (Part #1K3868049C). Prices including shipping:

    ECS Tuning $39.30
    1stVWParts $17.75

    Zeb at 1stVWParts has been very helpful.

    Exerytime I do a price comparison, ECS is higher than even my dealer..... add their extremely high shipping and its a no-go for me......

    I always check them though.....

    Did you have the infamous crack down on the bottom end as well? I may have to pick up one of those pieces as well. I remember seeing at least 2-3 people with the same part of that trim cracked or broken off as mine is.

    I broke mine while removing it to replace the window switch.
