Repaired my arm rest today and replaced the lobbed boss. This is a not a replacement item from VW so aftermarket. The one I bought for £7.75 was nominally smaller diameter so I had to shim it out with tape (5 winds of electrical tape) in order to mirror the feel / movement of the original arms (a little too much play / too light without taping).

Worth sharing. Sadly VW only sell the complete armrest

I have to say I broke it last weekend and have been lost without it.
 
Hmmm, just found out that the profile offers slightly less lift than the original.... so I wouldn't recommend that one. It may be high quality but accurancy is another matter.
 
Did you manage to get this fixed ? we have the same problem, absolutely gutted :(

Thanks so much for sending these over, I think I've been through them all but will take another look.
