Unfortunately, short of stripping it and repainting, there's not much you can do...

and i don't know if you'll be able to find the rubber coating anywhere. ironically, we're all trying to get the rubber junk off the door panels, and you're trying to get it pack on.

I never understood why VW put that crap on the car in the first place. My Miata also had it on the top of the dash and it just turned to goo, you couldn't even touch it without leaving a mark! Doesn't anyone do research and development anymore?!?!
