Tailgate scratch protection trim
I’ve applied a self-adhesive trim strip to the edge of my CX-3 tailgate as scratch protection.
I found the paintwork on the edge of the tailgate was getting light scratches on it from opening and closing it whilst it was dirty.
I think the trim strip is unobtrusive, and it was a cheap, simple and effective modification.
If you use the finger grip on the inside of the tailgate for closure the the ‘problem’ disappears. It is not a hard routine to get into.
