No clue.. maybe someone else knows but I'm afraid you're stuck with it. The hard plastic is scratched, right?

This is an unfortunate problem with the plastic. It's so cheap and brittle, you can scratch it with your fingernail. I have scratches everywhere. Whenever installers work on the car, some plastic part always gets broken.

I had the same problem when I had dynamat installed in the door panels. When they put the panel back on, the door lock was loose! Luckily some electrical tape around the hole fixed that. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Our plastic isn't that bad I don't think. Pontiac has the WORST plastic! Their interiors look so cheap.

Well considering that the Civic is still an "economy" car, and is the lowest model in Honda/Acura's lineup.....
