I am a proud new owner of an element. I have noticed that the hard plastic such as on the tailgate seems to scratch easily by my puppies toe nails. Any ideas on treating or protecting this plastic to limit the wear and tear, besides using blankets etc :?:

Yea, my dogs marred the inside of the tailgate pretty bad. The dogs are big (70+ lb. greyhounds) so we go in and out by the passenger doors. They never really liked the tailgate anyway. :)
