Subject:      Mysterious blemish in drivers door panel - the cause explained!
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


Like many of you, my Westy has a small blemish in the door panel right next
to where the driver's left armrest attaches to the seat.  I have always
figured it was caused by abrasion from the close clearance of the seat belt
at that spot.  When I pulled my door panel yesterday, I found that the fiber
board backing was punched in behind the blemish!  It looks like the PO must
have slammed the door shut on the seat belt tongue a few times, trapping it
between the door panel and the arm rest.  Do all of you with Westies have
the same disfigurement?  It almost makes me want to come up with a better
retention mechanism for the seat belt...   Any good repair ideas?
