Better pictures and a better explanation of what the issue is here and cause? Sorry the op seems kinda vague. I know about the start button. Havent heard of this one yet.

I did a search last night on “mk7 gti shifter surround trim” and you’ll see it.

Totally capable of doing searches. Whats the point making a post without some basic information? Its called communication. Is google everyones cop out to everything?

CB’s initial post literally states exactly where to look. If that is too vague, that comes down to comprehension.

This is where mine sliced me, it can be anywhere along that lip. Mine is creased because I used a quarter and tried to bend the razor sharp edge back down.

Can someone provide a picture so I can check exactly what the issue is... I have never been cut, but that isn't to say there isn't something sharp i'm missing.

Wait. This is a real thing?! LOL
Never happened to me, and won’t because when I got my SportShifters custom shifter it came with a new boot and new trim piece

So i finally took my car in for its 30k server (2016 Autobahn) and mentioned I wanted this resolved. They called me back with a $220 estimate. Aren't people getting this covered from VW? If so, who do i need to contact? This piece has sliced my hand open twice and i'll be damned if I pay a single penny to fix something that is clearly a manufacturer defect.

My dealership goodwilled it for me, but it should definitely be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty if you're still within 3 years. Mine wasn't even that sharp and hasn't sliced me, but they didn't give me any hassle when I asked for it to be replaced. Give VWoA a call and see if they will play ball.

If you have to end up eating the cost, just order the part and replacing it yourself. It's an easy 10 minute job.
