Shifter

[biglou71]

Hi all. Another little annoying thing happened today. It was hot her, like 96, I get off work, get in and drive home. When I get out of the car I notice the palm of my right hand is covered in black "paint" dye or something. I washed up and took a paper towel out to the MK8. And sure enough.... The shifter is "bleeding".

I was able to clean most of it off, but the front seam just wants to keep bleeding. Any ideas? Or better yet, solutions?

Thanks

BTW you guys have been awsome with the tips so far.
