Unhappy scratches on interior

o.k., i did a stupid thing the other day. i was packing a whole bunch of laundry in the back of the car and the hatch shut with no problem but when I went to open it, the cover was stuck all the way up in the hatch. it came out of the rails that hold it in and was just stuck. i pulled it off the hatch but now I have pretty nice scratches from where the metal from the cover was on each side of the hatch. the scratches are black and i just want to know how to get them out and do you think it's gonna cost me alot when I turn my car in since its a lease?

Are you talking about scratches in the plastic surround, sort of under the hatch window? Mine is light grey (charcoal interior). Are they scratches (into the plastic) or just scuffs?

they look like black scuffs but also looks as if it went deeper into the plastic.
