    Very disappointed in the "leather" that they use for the shift knob and boot. 40K miles and this is the wear.

    That's pretty bad. Mine looks ok but I'm getting some of that on the steering wheel (facing the window). Just tinted the fronts and use a sun shade so I'm hoping it doesn't get worse.

    I have 42k on mine. Nothing like that but the boot area around the knob is showing some wear. Do you wear a ring on your right hand?

    I have around 36k and mine looks brand new. Rough hands or dirty hands probably? That was first guess when I saw your pic, get a nice smooth non leather knob.
