I just bought an 05 rig that the guy
used to carry his dog around in.
In the hatch is a ton of scratches in the
plastic. I know this is an adventure vehicle
but the scratches are severe.
Any advice from the wise XOC members?

You could try and use a hair blower, set it on high and get close to the scratches. Try and get the plastic hot enough, but not too hot to maybe smooth them out a little. Just a thought.

I would go to the stealership and buy new panels.

I don't mind scratches, but they havta be MY scratches!
