I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I just purchased myself an MY09 A3 2.0L TFSI Quattro.
I'm very happy with the car so far except for one tiny little thing - the latch on the center console arm-rest is broken, so when I tilt it back, the lid flaps open.
From what I've read, it looks like you have to buy the entire lid component, but mine is black leather and looks to be >$100 (US). I'm in Australia, so with our dollar and shipping, I'd be spending upwards of $150. That's so ridiculous for a tiny plastic latch.

So... is there any A3 owners out there that have found a suitable workaround with fixing the broken latch, or know of when I can buy the parts I need at a reasonable price?

tried the glue backed velcro strips for a while - they work (soft of), but don't last for very long

Have my top cover totally missing as well. I don't have an option rather then buy new. Was looking for good used but no luck.

Do you guys know if that thing interchangeable with A4 units? they are cheaper...
