I have noticed that when opening the glove box it rubs the upper edge of the cover that hides that gas cap. I am looking for a solution. Maybe something like a carbon fiber sticker on the lid? Any ideas?

I also noticed that my gas cap lid at the top is marked also but could not figure out where it was coming from. waxing it will not remove it either. Will be following this thread!Quote:

I have a map pouch on my glove box cover and it recked the paint on the upper edge of the gas door. Show Chrome makes a smoked chrome trim ring that goes around the edge of the gas door that I put on. kurreackin? makes a "gothic" part that just covers the top edge of the gas door.I used the gothic speaker accents that I painted mat black. I'd switch out the Show Chrome for the gothic but I would have to redo the key knob and I'm not sure the paint on the gas door will servive it's removal.
Yep dittoQuote:

Mine was marked on the showroom floor, so when I was making the deal for the bike I insisted they give me some color-rite touch up paint in the deal, I got two touch up pens, the shinny black and the ballistic black.:yes:
Same rubbing problem here - thanks for the link!Quote:

I looked at the geometry and it does not appear to be upon opening but may be coming from the reinsertion of the hinge pins when going to close it. I do not open my cubby and leave it balanced on the fuel door area. I pop it and remove it and typically set it in my lap. Then reinsert the pins and close.
Caught the problem early on and did like Stro.Quote:
