Grabbing gears in your VW should be an engaging and exciting part of your driving experience. Unfortunately, little attention was paid to the design of your factory paddle shift levers; the OEM plastic units do very little to inspire quick downshifts and well-timed upshifts.

S2T Performance Paddle Shifters are complete replacements for your OEM paddles, guaranteeing perfect fitment.

That's where VW seat tray kits come to the rescue. Available for driver and passenger side front seats, these neutral black sliding storage trays come as a complete kit with everything you need to install them.

These units utilize completely serviceable valves with an aluminum piston and o-ring seal - compared to the easily-torn rubber diaphragm found in the OEM valve.
