If its on the textured plastic part of the door there isnt much you can do. You can try messing with sandpaper and other tools to try and mask the scratch, but thats about all you can do i think.

some light heating with a heat gun then running over it with your finger to smooth it back out can help. the plastic will have a tendency to want to return to the way it was.
