Default backseat on xbones

Hey guys....yesterday I took my backseat off my Bones, and saw that the fender had some marks on it (in the paint) from where the vinyl or leather wraps around underneath and is fastened to the seat itself. The wrinkles where the leather is secured on the bottom of the seat are what's leaving the marks. Anybody have this problem?

One solution is to apply some of the 3M paint protector film to the fender where the passenger seat rides. This would protect the paint from scuffing. Mike at Profinish sold me a piece for my XBones. After I bought the film, I saw that the same film (slightly smaller) was available in the Walmart auto accessories at a third of the price. You could also get some adhesive backed felt from Lowes or Home Depot and place on the high spots of the passenger seat. This too would protect the paint.
