Just one person's experience. YMMV

I'm not saying these don't look good, but be careful, be sure they aren't of dubious provenance (made in Bangladesh or somewhere)

I replaced the shift knob on my car (126 series) with an aftermarket burlwood one, and found the top wore way too fast, and I'm worse off for having done it.

Maybe things are better now. I think the shop charged me about $65 to do it, about 8 years ago.

Probabably if AMG or MB made them, they are good. Where does the seller on ebay get them?
