I wet sanded the peeling crap off the trim piece then sprayed the same black trim paint that I used for the peeling circular trim ring around the start/stop button because I knew the color match was spot-on. Leather wrap quality is outstanding with a great feel to it. Got it from these peeps:

Awesome. I had the same peeling trim issue, but because of my Dakota beige interior, it was a little harder to paint-match. I ended up popping off a grab handle and having it paint-matched with house paint at Home Depot. Sounds crazy, but it's durable and when applied with a sponge to the leather textured plastic, you can't even tell!
