i'm assuming. not sure though. i'm definitely going to call and complain because this should be fixed under warranty.

Are you phoning Nissan USA or your local dealership. Let me know and I will do the same, and update this post with my results.

I have a 2003 Touring and I have interior stuff like that...
My steering wheel and seat have suffered too. I am not hard at all on my car, rarely drive it hard, and clean and maintain it well with only high name brand cleaning materials. (Meguiars, etc.)

Here are the scratches on my driver side door.


I've had the car since 1/20/06 and attribute most of the scratches from wearing a ring (since 7/06)

I have the scratches on the drivers door handle. It started in April when I got married. My band touches the handle causing the scratches. It sucks.

I agree it doesn't look too impresive does it. I am using that 303 cleaner for my interior panels. Just scratching a finger nail on the door switch panels will take the thin layer of rubber off producing those horrible white marks. And I have very short finger nails, not claws.....

I am just wondering how hard it would be to do my own cf panels, maybe I'll try that, as I am not too optimistic about Nissan warrantying this issue.
