    Finish Peeling Off

    Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
    The rubberized coating on the interior trim pieces, especially at the rear of the console seem to be peeling off.
    Had them replaced a few months ago and now they are starting to peel again.All we use for cleaning is armourall wipes and sometimes a damp cloth, so nothing to harsh i would think.
    So just wondering ifanyone else has had this problem

    the soft paint on them does peel but you have to scratch it with your nails or a watch kinda thing.. if you got them replaced on warranty before why not do it again

    or just do what most people do and buy the OEM aluminum trim instead

      Yep it's pretty common. My ashtray cover peeled almost down to nothing so I replaced it, but my lower console area also has a bit of minor peeling.

        No peeling as of yet but now i'm going to check just to be safe yet again. My car has that stupid Velvet type interior that catches all the fluff, dust bunnies etc... Sure the 2004 model and newer don't have that problem new fabric interior. Oh well.

          My driver's side door is peeling around the handle/power options area. It's not a big deal yet, but i'll have to replace it or upgrade to aluminum trim at some point.

              I had the door handle replaced under warranty no problem. Touch wood nothing else is pealing.

                The Velour on my middle armrest is starting to wear which I'm not happy about. Are you having that problem as well?

                        funny story about the armrest.. an old club member from up north showed him his once and he had cloth interior GTI.. well he liked it down but hated shifting with it too (basically your arm can't slide back/forth and you shift with your wrist which annoys me)

                        so anyways he just shifted and 'forced' his arm back/forth.. well i looked at his armrest and that **** had like arm hair mashed into the fabric and was all worn out in a big line! it was pretty funny and sick at the same time

                        edit.. i'm tempted to remove mine also and install an 04 style centre console i miss my cup holders up top.. (dvd gets in the way).. but i plan on putting some alcantara in the car this year and i want to test the armrest first so i'll probably just end up keeping it

                          I agree totally . . . that armrest is a major PITA, but what's the alternative?

                            My arm rest is usually up because it gets in the way of larger people getting their seatbelts on in my car. My Dogs like to use for a ramp to jump into the front seats. I feel crowded when people put their arms on it as my last one.

                            I have an Automatic , I can't drive a Stick. Pout:(

                            I never learned how to drive a standard.
