I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?
So the small strip of aluminum trim along the drivers side door handle that goes right under your hand when you pull the door closed - I noticed a very small dent in this a day or two after delivery. I assumed it was a small manufacturing defect or something like that. I notice it all the time but not enough to worry about getting it fixed. Most people would never notice it. Today I look at the same spot and now there are several more small dents and scratches in the same little area of that aluminum strip! WTF?
Then it dawned on me.
The location of these little dings lines up exactly with my wedding ring, where it contacts the door every time I grab the handle to close it. So this is all my fault - but I'm kind of annoyed that a) the metal is so soft it's getting dinged up and b) that a door handle - something meant to be grabbed, is designed in a way that it's even prone to something like this.
First world problem for sure and a minor one at that. Now I know and I will be more careful but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this? Any way to protect that little strip of metal?
