Hello all,

yesterday I noticed a small dimple on the driver side door panel. The dimple was caused by the seatbelt buckle getting pinched between the seat back and the door panel itself when I closed the door the day before. After noticing that and adjusting the buckle, I expected the dimple to go away within a couple of hours or so, but this morning it's still noticeable. Has any of you experienced this problem, and will the indentation on the door panel go away after a while, maybe through a couple of "heat cycles", or should I expect it to be there permanently? Is there a "trick" to get the dimple out?
Thank you in advance for your input.

 

as far as i know, it is permanent. i havent checked mine recently, but i know at the least, it lasts a long time.

 

it sounds as though you did the same thing as I did then, with the seatbelt buckle...
