Default Sliced fingers

hi every one, I watched a utube video of a guy talking about is crossfire, nothing strange about that, but has he got out he sliced is fingers on the inside silver door handle, Did not give that much thought until I did the same and sliced my fingers, Put a strip of gaff tape on the back of the grab handle, job done, so just wanted to point this out and just wondered if anyone had come across the same thing Mike

Yep same here, I noticed it on drivers side soon after I bought mine, the chrome seems to be peeling away leaving sharp edges, I applied a strip of duct tape to the back of the handle.

You are welcome!....but, I think I gleaned the idea from this forum.
I like the soft grab handle too!

Have a great weekend!
