Actually we just got some!  What timing!  They literally just arrived this
morning, having been on order for something like six months. I had given up
on ever seeing my order filled! 

These aren't unproven aftermarket ones, but the real article - genuine VW
ones from Germany (and the nice metal version, not than the plastic ones
that tend to crack).  I have eight left right that aren't already claimed,
so the first eight people to order will get one. I will supposedly get maybe
ten more next month, and after that I'm not sure.
