So installed an xm radio in the wifes car and found out the hard way the plastic on the side molding beside the radio ('06) scratch really, really easily. You can clearly see the scratches just to the left of the stick shift:



Any idea how to mimize the appearance of these scratches?

Two other things I could use some help with also:

I really like the look of the leather skirts I've seen that hide the portion of the emergency brake below the handle. It makes it really match up with the shifter. Problem is, I don't know where to find them or even what they are called to do a search.

Lastly, I noticed there is just a tiny peice of chrome missing from the end of one of the decorative rings around my tachometer. Is there a chrome touch up kit that I can use to help hide this. I wish I would have seen this since there is nothing could have done to cause it, it must have been that way from the dealer.

Thanks!

 

Bump...

No responses? I've had the same thing happen to me, scratches on the dash and the door panel too.

 

If nothing else ...... you might want to try to talk to someone in a body repair shop to see how much it would cost to replace that one interior panel ...... Sorry, maybe someone else will have a better idea for you, but thats all I can think of. Good luck!

 

1. There is a lower dash kit, very similar to the IUP in match. You can pick and choose what you want to cover from the entire kit.
2. Take the other problem back to the dealer, they should have to fix it.
