Between lifting my foot in the air to clear the side sill and making sure I don't poke my eye out on the little triangular window when getting in is work enough.

They sure didn't make this car easy to ingress/egress without damaging it or yourself.

I will just get in through the window!

I noticed the same thing the other day, I have to always remind my self to watch it when I get in and out.

Still better than my previous car though, a MINI, which had a speaker grille in a very poor spot. Got out too fast one day and kicked right through the speaker grille.

I bought a black vinyl wrap and wrapped the area where the shoe mark hits. Ill take a pic tomorrow, it looks ugly but at least theres no scratches

Looks like crap, but I plan to use a blow dryer when it gets warmer.

Sticker bomb!
Or something less obnoxious. I like the vinyl wrap idea but maybe something a little more creative. :shrugs:

Depends on how it was prepped, the adhesive etc.
Decals in general can be time consuming and a PITA depending on several factors, but it's not a show stopper for me. Just have to take the time, and add heat (carefully) when needed.
And finally, the right chemicals to clean up any residue (if required).

My suggestion exactly, my driver side door gets blocked by drivers who can't park straight, so I go through the window sometimes.

I also keep an extra pair of shorts and old tennis shoes in the back in case i need to change out of some heavy pants and boots. It's rewarding to be prepared so you can get the best driving experience possible.
