Description of the problem	The chrome trim detail around the gear selector base peeled up slightly right in front of the storage cubby. It is not visible from a normal seated position that it peeled up. When removing an item from the storage cubby the peeled up metal deeply sliced my finger and it bled for hours. The peeled up metal is razor sharp. The vw dealer was familiar with the issue on similar vehicles and replaced the entire assembly. This happened in december 2017. I am reporting it now after hearing of several similar occurrences with this make/model.
