I too have a dent, although its in the rear center by the shark fin (which i dont have, i dont know why)
so car is basically stock 06' 250 stock suspension and wheels w/ sunroof.. 90+ miles. dent came with the car over 2 yrs ago.
what can be done to get this fixed by dealer?

This happened to my car
I had the same dent on my IS350. When I took it to Sewell Lexus body shop they said this dent happens when you drive your car fast over a hole in the street or uneven road in general. The weight of the sun roof will make this happen. Most of the time when this happen some damage will happen to your car front hood too. It won’t close even on either the right or left side.

After figuring out this is more than an a obscure occurrence that I had with my IS350, I figured why not get a true total of members with this issue all in one thread.
Please feel free to vote on the poll as a tally and post up your pictures of the dents too.
Perhaps down the road this known issue can be made light to Corporate!
Thanks!
Here's my dent :

My 07 is350 has exactly the same dent.
In my case it is made by cat jumping from a rooftop to my car !
we have to many cats free on streets down here in Saudi Arabia. And they scratch the paint jobs too....

I'm taking my car in next week for the cam gear TSB and will talk to them about this. I see that most of you aren't under warranty, but I still am. I have dents on both sides of the roof, and suspect that it's due to chassis flex.
Regardless of what they say, I'm buying a chassis brace and rear sway bar before having it fixed, and will let everyone know if it re-appears. I drive pretty hard and take rough, curvy backroads to/from work everyday, so I think that if flex is the culprit, I'll be a prime candidate to see them show up again if they're going to.
