    Inside door arm rest - dis-integrating stcky

    Hi
    I have a 2010 Skoda Superb Elegance (love the car) but I noticed that the inside front passenger arm rest is getting very sticky and starting to dis-integrate. I first blamed my wife saying it was her hand creams but now the drivers side is also starting to to the same. So obviously not hand creams.
    Has anybody also experienced this? I suppose it will be a whole panel replacement which will be expensive.
    Thanks

    Suncream? I've heard it do pretty bad things to cars before including poor quality leather on steering wheels. Otherwise maybe you guys have toxic sweat?

    I have a 2008 which I would assume uses the same material, and no problems at all with arms on it everyday. I have a 2011 Santa Fe and the door vinyl starting peeling off bits of rubber 6mths from new. Turns out it sat in an outside holding yard for over a year so I reckon the sun killed it. All my cars have window tint film so don't see it since they replaced that skin.
