Default back panel on drivers seat

The panel on the back of my drivers seat is hanging loose at the bottom. The dealership wanted to charge me $45 for some metal clips that replace the plastic clips that don't hold up. Does anyone know where I can buy these for a reasonable price?

Got my repair kit for ~$35 at the local VW dealer - be sure to have the p/n when you call.

Default Needforsleep made this repair. He may have included the kit repair # in his thread.

I think he did it in early 2006, or late 2005.

The repair kit is what they were trying to sell me for $45. Seemed a little high if it's only a few clips. They also wanted $100 to install...imagine that.

One hour labor, the minimum charge. part costs sounds about right. Import ownership costs.
