Seatbelts marking up door panels

[Parker0076]

Anyone else having the same problem? Seems like when you undo the seatbelt and let it go, it marks the door panel?

My marks are more on the b-pillar plastic.

And definitely more concentrated.

Do not even blink in the direction of the interior plastics, it will scratch it.

I think I've been using a 303 product to clean it up , it helps hide the marks.
Nothing special, just a standard plastic/vinyl cleaner conditioner, like Armor-All.

303 is amazing. I use that on my fender flares and the wife’s exterior vehicle trim too. Highly recommend!

Could it be from the seat belts banging around when You have the top down?
You could try these seat belt rentention buckles

You must have a 2 door. As noted above it marks the B-Pillar on the 4 doors.

I have been using this stuff since it was included with the Molle bags from Ford (though not sure why).

.

It seems to hide some of these scratches and works well on the fender flairs. It was free so not sure what I’ll do when it runs out. 303 Protectant is on standby….

These interior panels are so easy to mark up. They are the weakest in any car I have every owned - from crap cars to luxury. I don't get why you would use that material for an off road vehicle.

Does 303 have any UV protection as well?

You're welcome - It's not greasy like cheaper products are, like Armor All. I just spray some onto a microfibre cloth and wipe it on. It goes on well, and dries quickly.

The wife's SUV has a lot more plastic trim on it and was looking very worn, and it's amazing what a difference this made. Here's a comparison:

Hey Parker0076,
I definitely have this problem, and it not from just banging around, but by when you release the seatbelt as you stated.
Sadly, the interior plastic is amazingly easy to scratch. I believe the decision to use this plastic interior was driven by dollars and cents.

Haven’t had that issue. I have a 2 door and my seat is set a bit past the post forward. I do check periodically because of that and if I see anything it does wipe off pretty easily.

But as someone else said, it is easy to scuff pretty much anywhere in the vehicle. Not a deal breaker for me personally tho.
