Genuine Arona (and other) armrests, supplied with no backing trim?

Hi all, back again :) hope everyone has been well.

my 2018 Arona didn't come with an armrest. I had bought an aftermarket one last year for £50GBP or so, but it was markedly inferior to the real McCoy. And so I've picked one up from Ebay, admittedly from the Mk6 Polo, but its happily bolted in and is instantly superior.

But I hadn't realised something until now: these parts (6F0864207T is the code, if you're wondering) don't seem to come with a backing trim; the rear-facing part of the armrest has its internals exposed. Its a little bit unsightly, not awfully but it could be tidied up.

Would anyone know if that backing trim is available as a separate part?

Bonus question: the top cover can be raised up, but is it meant to be able to click into different height positions?

thanks

Certainly; here you go. (Ignore the dirty carpets...)

So I am.....many thanks.

Curiously, there are loads on Ebay (not just the one I bought) that lack this part. And I'm supposing that this is because there were different variants; some with USB, some not, etc.

Much appreciated!
