Re: Cleaning Plastic trim

["Geoffrey J. Elliott" <geo@cybersnot.com>]

i have an extra red-shitched GTI boot and golfball
knob.  i paid $80 for it when I had my jetta (and
then I traded that in for a GTI which came with the
golfball knob... so now i have this extra one).

i'd be willing to sell it to you for $80 (includes shipping)
but would rather not break it apart.
