I have the optional VW factory installed leather turn signal lever covers
on my '91 Westy.  The covers have held up to my signalling exceptionally
well and show little sign of wear or deterioration.  I would hardly call
this exceptional cattle hide option, junk!  Possum skin may be more
desireable but there is nothing wrong with cattle hide for turn signal
lever covers for those of us who are monitarily challenged.  Not all of us
are rich possum barrons.
