this happened to a friends cadillac at work. i just took what i know from fender rolling and applied it. get a long, cylindrical device (baseball bat, bar, etc) and roll that thing back up in there. and as to permanently solbing this issue yeah i would trim, beat and roll a
l that metal lip up in there. but like mike said, use heatgun/hair dryer to prevent paint flaking
