Default Anyone else have dents on plastic interior from seatbelt

Anyone else have dents on this part of their injection molded plastic from the seatbelt hitting it? I saw this on my CT200 but here’s my IS500 with the same issue and only 3700 miles. I’ve put some painters tape over it to stop it from getting worse.

Not an IS but yes, I have to remember not to let it just fly.

Yes, same here. Ever since my first nick on the plastic from the seatbelt, I always hold the belt after I click the release button.

Maybe try making it a habit of helping guide the belt home in a fluid motion after you take it off. Out of curiosity i'll go check my ES if it has those marks but i don't recall it does.

Hope not! But I did get some scatches on the door card and back of the passenger seat from taking a box in and out. Scratches very easy. Sad day
