Does anyone elses rear quarter panels have some ripples in them???
I was looking at my car today and I thought I saw a ding....but on further inspection....it looks like 2 to 3 ripples on each rear quarter panels. I'm probably the only on that can see it....and Dent Wizard says they are normal Does anyone else have this. PLEASE Comfort me!!!!

not the crease created by the factory... but there is like a little 'dent' just behind the rear quarter panel... like its a weak spot or something.

I noticed those in my car right after I put about 500 lbs worth of hydraulics in my trunk. I thought I buckled the back of the car...talk about a good scare.

yup ... noticed them on my car after about the first week of ownership. believe them to be the results of an inherently bad design flaw.

Thank god....I thought I was the only one! According to the guy at Dent Wizard said they are "pulls"....and if he takes them out....another one will appear...so it is a design flaw! OH WELL!

Thank you guys, I also thought I was the only one. I bought my car about two months ago and the first time I gassed it up I noticed them. I was pissed because I felt the dealership pulled a fast one on me and sold me a car with dent's in it.

Thanks guys.
