Default Peeling on Inside of Door Handles

Just purchased a 2005 Limited Roadster in great condition. I was hoping someone could help me with this: I have no idea what it is but on the inside of the door handles (the pull bar you use to close the door from the inside) there is a plastice coating that's peeling in a specific area. Almost like there was a label there that peeled off. What's bad is that what's left is crackling with sharp edges. I actually sliced my pinkey getting in. Maybe there was a rubber pice there originally that was pulled off with remnants of the adhesive left behind. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I bought some of this chrome tape on amazon because I had the problem you described. I haven’t tried it yet but it looks like it should work.

I’ve also seen some folks cover the handle with a laced/sewn leather cover that looks pretty good.

Common problem you have here
This is the solution
These simply wrap around the handle and velcro holds them tightly in place

Some great input - thanks all. I wanted to keep the look original so i bought Crystal Clear Gorilla Tape and it worked great. Perfect size and easy to do. I highly recommend this simple fix.

I ordered mine here on Ebay >> see link below.....
These are sold in the UK but are of higher quality to many others that look the same or similar by many other vendors
I was directed here by several others here who stand behind this product
