Parked Car Hit Again

Hi Everyone,

Went to grab some lunch and as I walked past my car, I noticed a circular glare from across the street. Started to get closer and noticed a nice sized dent. This isn't the first time that happened...(https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...ar-hit-909215/)



From the photos below, it appears that the impact was caused by another door. However, the 2nd and 3rd photos is a bit puzzling. Any guesses on what caused the damage? I personally believe it was a door but I cant figure out how the insides were damaged. A friend of mine believes it could have been someone trying to pry the door open. If this is true, wouldn't there be more damage to the doors edges?

Cant seem to figure out how these scrapes occurred to the divider/door jamb

Looks like external impact hard enough to bend the metal. Are the scrapes inside really scrapes? Looks like stress fracture of the paint inside from the impact. What caused the impact is the mystery. Bike? Lowered tailgate of a pickup? Who knows....

Man that sucks. I had the same issue but culprit was tree branches on a windy day. Came back to 3 quarter sized dents on hood. The HOOD!!!!!
I went to a PDR shop (paintless dent repair) and they popped it right out. About $150 to get 2 fixed. Took 2 hours since there was a line. Although it doesn't look perfect, you can't tell unless you are a foot way and looking for it. Try searching web for reputable shops.
