Default Seatbelt tore the interior .....

I knew there was a reason why I hate seatbelts. I noticed a small tear just inside the door where the buckle sometimes rests after I exit the car. It must have gotten wedged into the lining when I closed the door recently.

The tear is small but I have no idea how to repair it (anyone surprised?). Are there any repair kits that I should look into or might i need to have that interior panel replaced?

Default Eureka! How fortunate I am to have received such sage advice.

Do you suggest the very shiny variety?

Default Good idea! The auto parts stores sell metalic tape that would be much more...

....visibly ignorant looking. Perfect for you! :-P

Default get a lawyer! here are some tips from car care online...

If your leather or vinyl has scuffmarks, scratches or areas that the surface color has been removed, you may refinish it yourself. Most German seats are famous for scuffing on the left bolster of the driver's seat. This is usually caused by your belt loops as you get in and out of the seat. The key is another Surflex product. The Surflex Colorant & Finish for Flexible Surfaces may be matched to the exact color required. Any interior leather or vinyl surface may be refinished. It is not recommended to spot finish any area. If your seat bolsters have belt loop scuff marks, you should refinish the entire front of the seat.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/leather_care.html">http://www.carcareonline.com/leather_care.html</a</li></ul>

Thanks. Unfortunately, it's the plastic surface that tore - not the leather or vinyl.
