For what its worth, if you and your passengers are careful not to dig your finger nails, rings, etc. into the handles they won't peel. I had to have two of mine replaced several years ago under warranty and have been careful ever since and do not have any peeling to this day. You shouldn't have to be overly careful, but its kind of like handling an egg, you know it will break if your not careful, so your careful.
