Door handle chrome peeling off?

Featured Replies

The chrome on the inside of one of the wifes door handles is peeling away, kind of sharp to the touch.  Just wondering if this is a know issue, any service bulletins?  Bit shoddy on a three year old car.

 

The car is out of warranty but going into Skoda for a service tomorrow so will mention it.

Worst case , a cheap fix is to do a wrap for it. You could have a carbon fibre look for added HP

Horse Power.  Carbon Fibre is known to increase HP exponentially, especially if you stick it on everything you can see.

 

If you want to really make your wife jealous, enormous engine power and random, Katie Price type women throwing their panties at you - just visit Halfords and their "carbon fibre effect"  stick on styling section. 🤤

Ah...thank you. I wouldn't have thought to link the two. Now I know!

I wrapped my wife's mobility scooter (pink CF, natch) and that improved both speed and handling.  I'm planning to add a turbo sticker on the back for even more speed.

@BriskodaJeff will PM you shortly to ask for that on his wing mirrors, just you wait!

Update on this. Car was with Skoda yesterday, €120 for a new handle. I think I'll be fixing it myself!

  • 1 month later...

I have discovered the same issue with the flaking door handle on the passenger side this morning. My car is a little over two years old!

  • 3 months later...

I have the same issue on 3 doors where the worst peel off is the drivers door. I have the extended guarantee (+3 years) from Skoda so I assume they will cover it. Ill contact them today.

Update: Got it fixed and it was covered by the warranty.
