The genuine ones from VW aren't all that much more than that. Given that they break every 10 years I didn't mind paying for an OEM one and knowing it was never going to break for another 10 years.
Still if the after market ones are any good I'm always up for saving a few $$, mind you half the problem is when they break it's always down, local OEM might be more expensive, but at least it's right now and I can continue to drive to work in the rain.
