Marks on door panels from seat belt retracting

has anyone noticed how fast the seat belt retracts when its released ? my passenger side top part of my door panel has small marks from being hit with the seat belt clasp when someone doesnt hold on to hit when they release it . i figured out how to rub on the plastic to diminish the marks but now i have noticed its lost it original shine in those areas , anyone know how to get the shine back .

 

i noticed tons of scratches on mine too, what did you use to rub to remove the marks? thanks

 

Put a piece of adhesive backed velcro (the soft side) right on the spot where the buckle hits. They sell it at Home Cheapo in 2" circles. This will protect the plastic and quiet the noise from the buckle hitting the door when retracting.

I have these all over and where it looks like I miss with the key around the ignition.

 

Mine will smack my window if I let it go at the right angle

 

You would think they would/could make the plastic for those areas just a little bit harder to prevent this?

 

I'm having this same problem. It pisses me off.

 

Oh I've done that. I ended diving down into the passenger seat thinking it was a drive by again.
