I got my metal watch band lodged under the door handle and seat, when I pulled up I scratched the crap out of mine. How about leather dye?

Same issue here and don't care for the wraps, they look out of place.

That's what you get for using those kinky handcuffs to restrain your date / significant other!

Life's too short to worry about some scratches on the door pull....No one else is going to notice it but you. But, I am the last one who should talk, I get obsessed with my car too. :crazy:

It can be fixed. I had some issues like that when purchasing a 2010 and the dealer had their interior guy, who comes once a week just to fix such instances, take care of it. There were some places that where worse than what you are showing - I thought I would just have to replace the part, but nope, he took care of it. Don't know what he did, but made it look like new again.

I will call the dealer Monday and have him send his guy over to look at my handles. I dont believe there is a full time person that does that for them, but I think it is an outside company that travels around once per week fixing any issues they have. I will post pics if it gets fixed.

Mine were the same--scratches from my wedding ring. I replaced them with the 4LT leather handles. Cost was about $150, and they look soooooo much better.

Do they match with the rest on the non 4lt interior? I would love to see some pics of them installed in your car. If mine cant be repaired this seems like the route to go.

I have an 09 with red interior. Same type scratches on my door handle. I believe it happened from watch band and buttons,snaps on jackets. I've tried lots of cleaners and once even red tinted car wax. Nothing really helped. I bought car to drive and just decided to live with it. I did wonder if interior paint or dye would help?

Mine are also that way when I bought the car. Hate to put wraps on it.

You have to slide your hand forward, not up if your wearing a watch. I wish they had placed the power seat controls in a different location. Hard to drive a stick with your left had locked between your seat and door.
