The rubberized material was peeling off by the driver door handle I hated the way it looked so I just scraped it all off. The little residue left I cleaned off with goo gone, then rubbing alcohol. It left just a smooth black plastic. Looks better than the rubbery goop with scratches on it. By the way, has VW changed this alwful design on later NB's? I would hope they have changed some of the horrible interior design flaws in later models. I'd love to upgrade from my '99 eventually and would love it if they have made some interior improvements.
