A few parts needed...

[jbs45]

I was washing my car the other day and noticed that the driver's side fog light is cracked and broken. The light itself still works, but the glass lens is cracked. Also, my Cognac shift knob is showing signs of wear. Does anyone have either of these items??

Thanks!!!!

Go to www.mgwltd.com for a replacement knob. They are awesome although not stock. Second, call Chuck Tator for the light, 914-763-3136. 20% off for VCA members

I was really trying to find another Cognac colored knob. I'm one of those guys that likes to keep everything original.

You could have a interior shop re-dye it or call Paul at 800-338-4002 or Larry at 971-570-1915. They both sell used parts and might have what you're looking for. Good luck.


P.S. the Cognac never seems to hold up and wears really bad.

I'm fighting the same problem with my knob. I have a local guy looking into re-wrapping the leather and I'll let you know what kind of damage it'll be.

I second that, my steering wheel looks like it's had over 200,000 miles when the car only has 24,000. COGNAC SUCKS! I said the hell with it and swapped to black!
Anyone have a Black steering wheel in excellent shape for a fair price?

Hmmm... 30k on my Cognac interior, and the steering wheel still looks new - perhaps you need to wash your hands more? I do have a couple of nicks in the shift knob that are collecting black/grey dirt, I assume, but I have zero interest in an aftermarket knob.

It's lying around in some box in my garage. I'm overseas right now so i didn't say anyhting, i can ask my father to look around for it to see if he can find it and what shape it might be in? then again maybe its under my drivers seat? hmmm...... I can't remember what i did with it lol? I'll have someone look around for it.

LOL - I was wondering something along those lines myself. I have a black RT with the Cognac interior and everyone says it looks terrific. I want to keep it looking that way for years to come.

Although I haven't bought any yet I plan on getting some driving gloves to keep high wear items such as the steering wheel and shifter looking nice. I've read that batting gloves from a sporting goods store work pretty well.
