Think of it as an opportunity to buy new stuff for your TT. You're doing a good thing . . .
Here's how (from the FAQ).

if it's the top piece, it's trivial to replace.
FWIW, there do appear to be some model-year differences on the trim -- i had a heck of a time getting screws that were copacetic with the new trim.

you're right....I should treat it like a performance mod
but I am kinda disapointed that something that doesn't see too much sun exposure, hardly touched by my greasy fingers, could wear out so easily albeit at the edge. Thanks for the link.

it looks like it's easy enough ---------->
to replace....I just don't want this to be a sign of things to come regarding the trim of this car, after five years of ownership....I may need to update my pair of dimes. I'm treating it more like a scuff on a shoe, mentally. You could kick yourself for putting the scuff there in the first place.
