I scratched up the plastic covering the inside of the doors the other day (you can see the white thats underneath the vinyl now).

take it to an upolstry shop thats about all you can do...
i had a scuff mark on my panel that was deep enough to see the white. i just sharpie'd it and it looks fine now, granted the scuff wasn't that big. you can also try vinyl paint. i heard that might work. good luck

I have a rather large scuff mark that wont come out....using a sharpie scares me though :eek:
if you want it done right you have to replace the entire panel through BMW.... sucks, but the only way to do it right.
Do you know how much that costs?

New panels ~700. A dealer was able to repair a puncture i put in my drivers door panel. Check with your service dept, they might know of a repair service :thumbup:
i to got damage from somethin "special." but the way im getting it repaired, is that the part on my armrest below the trim, is peeling, and well what do u know, to replace the arm rest, u gotta replace the door panel.

The dealer is doing it under warranty :dunno: Whats a good way to peel that material under the armrest?
