I have a small scratch (about 2 inches) in the plastic between the 2 glove boxes. It not real deep, but it's definitely noticeable. Anybody got any ideas on how to fix or make less noticeable?

i had this exact same problem on my 2013 use a hair dryer or a heat gun and warm up the area slowly and push down very light with your finger or nail.. caution you may burn yourself as the plastic will be warm. As you heat up the area the plastic raised areas that make the area more noticable will begin to shrink and melt back to original shape

This works well however moderate your heat, did this a while back to various portions of the lower dash. When cooled, left the areas a dull finish that no shine kit can restore. Scratches are gone though :)

You can use a leather glove to protect your hand and re texture the plastic
