It's a DIY repair - £20 for the part - follow the youtube videos.

Is this an MIB2 unit (i.e. 2015+ car)? Touchscreen is usually a failed digitizer - £20 off aliexpress. Depending on how it's failed I could envisage how it could take out the left hand buttons.

Strikes me as pretty normal pricing for genuine parts - I don't understand why you were shocked?

Having previously owned a CR170 and been mightily impressed with the brakes, I was disappointed when I bought the SCR150 which has brakes I would describe as "sufficient" but no more than this. I too wanted to retrofit the CR170 brakes to to the SCR150 but it looks to be a path nobody has trodden due to complexity & cost. So I have decided that if/when I replace the brakes on mine, I will fit my favourite Ferodo DS2500 pads which are quite simply outstanding in every application I have ever used them.

DIY and it will cost around £20-25 - digitizer part available from ebay or aliexpress. Video on youtube shows you how to do it & it's really not difficult. Pay someone else to do it and will cost anywhere between £150-£600+, yes some companies out there are not afraid to pull your pants down on a £25 part & 1 hour's labour.

I would use something like tigerseal. Though you can also buy trim tape from places like Halfords.

I would suggest asking this question on the Yeti Owners club site as there are way more yeti owners over there than on here.

Much simpler solution - I just unplugged mine. It's now permanently in the unlocked position but given there is anti-syphon devices in the filler neck anyway (and does anyone ever have fuel theft anymore anyway?!) I just didn't see the point of having it lockable and risking it failing on me - as it had started to get sticky and was becoming more & more of a pain to get to open on the forecourt. So simply unplugged the wiring - it still latches shut and pushes open fine - but no more fear of it not releasing.

Agreed - mine was also the slave - total PITA - expensive repair for a cheap part.
-
That wheel is totally repairable by any reputable alloy wheel refurb place. And will be just as strong as a new rim at a fraction of the cost.

Try a different USB cable. Has the phone been set to "Trust" the car? Also are you certain the car has carplay/smartlink activated?

Just done a search on ebay - for used yeti armrest - 40 are returned, of which 17 are leather, 16x black & 1x brown. And that's without trying breakeryard, gumtree, fb marketplace etc. So wow yes impossible to get in the right colour....

Just typical UK population "throwaway" mentality. As soon as something goes wrong people just scrap the car and get another - I saw one of my neighbours scrap her perfectly good 2007 Vauxhall Vectra last week because one of the headlamp bulbs needed replacing and she couldn't do it - so instead called the local scrappers to come tow it away & she bought a Tiguan to replace it with. I offered to replace the bulb for her but she said she didn't care about the old car & couldn't be bothered getting it repaired and just wanted a new one. That car has since been stripped - perfectly good car just needed a bulb....

There are hundreds of Yeti's being broken - just buy the parts you need from a car with a black interior. Painting beige to black will never last. Been there, done that.
