Scratched Nav. Compartment Door !
While cleaning the car, I over extended the nav. compartment door and I scratched the front of the door (see pix). (I actually don't have the nav. option, that's only the door located in place of the nav system)
Does somebody have any ideas on how to fix that??
Thanks,

I don't know what it's treated with man. It looks like it's just painted, so you could pop it out and repaint it. You could also buy a new one or just get some overlays.

Try flat (rust-oleum) black paint. Flat vinyl paint is too glossy. Use a very small brush.
After drying 24+ hours, coat with 303 protectant (quality silicone).
You might still be able to tell where it is damaged, but you'd have to really focus on it.

Just break down and get the nav system. Or better yet, install a screen so you can play games, watch movies, and view pics all while your driving!

Get yourself a tv screen and place in the compartment and remove the door!

same thing happened to me while vacuuming out my car - the tip of the nozzle scratched the @#$# out of the area around the shifter.
Anyone have any expierence color matching the dash color?
