Hello everyone!

Just purchased my 2010 Mazda 3 GT sedan last week. Picked up the sales managers demo with 4500K on it.

I didn't notice when I bought it as I was in the drivers seat and didn't think to inspect everything with a fine tooth comb as it was such a new vehicle, but when I brought a buddy in my car, he noticed the interior door handle on the passenger. It seems as if where the shiny plastic meets the rubber backing, there are some, I can't really explain but, if you were to take a very thin screw driver, or a pin for that matter, and attempt to pry it off, the dents that would be left are whats there. There wasn't one on the drivers side on Saturday. But today, there is one there too. I will attach some pics.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this....

And No.. i haven't tried to pull them off ... I'm finding it odd.... either very poor material or... i don't know....

hmm the a picture would be helpful but i will admit the plastic is very easy to scratch and wouldnt be surprised if your nails could even scratch it

those are teensy tiny nicks there is no damage around the area and it doesnt convince me that it was done by tools

If you got an awesome price on your demo, I say try to let it not bother you (as that may bother me as well if I was in your shoes)....as said, ENJOY your new ride :)

You must of test drove my 3 before I got it, had a little scratches around door handles (most likely from long nails) :P
