18 yes to 29 no...wow, that's nearly 40% with dents or dimples in their roofs. FAIL!

I am surprised how many there are. I can't recall noticing any that I've looked at, but maybe I'll keep an eye out. I wonder if it's more of a heat thing? It doesn't get as hot up here...

Checked my car, and there are no dents... this concerns me a bit, especially when a few ppl who have these dents haven't been in previous accidents!

People with the dent should say if their car is lowered or not.

I don't have any dents on my roof *knock on wood* but I have noticed random scratches in one section like a cat jumped on my roof or something but my front bumper is all messed up from rock chips from my car being lowered since its my DD

Chassis flex in an area with little to no structural rigidity.

So, has anyone paid to have any roof dents fixed yet? Did the dent stay away, or did it reappear?

Then only certain ISx50 with certain yrs has dent on roof, i didnt check mine yet but i will tomorrow.
By the way not easy to fix the dent on roof its a hardest part of job for bodyshops, and if you pull it out you should get it painted, so not good idea to fixing it better to keep it the way it is
