You can find real leather gaiters on ebay, and they are pretty cheap (I've fitted one in mine)

I bought one . It was good quality but too thick a gauge of leather .
The OE leather is  exceptionally thin to fit between the two retaining sandwich plastic sections .
The aftermarket item ,as said, was too thick but at each corner where the sections were stiched it was impossible to fit .
Where did you get yours ?
