Just stumbled on this thread (from another thread) and thought I'd post my findings.

2006 IS 350 w/sunroof 137K miles. NO dents (thankfully)

I wonder if having the sunroof open/closed accelerates this issue? Mine is almost always closed, I forget it's there msot of the time.

I have the exact same dent on my 2007. It's at the front-left corner of the moonroof. People always ask what happened.

Has anyone been able to actually get this fixed?

How about responses from Lexus?

had mine fixed @ dealer by paint less dent removal guy for 150 or so, but only because the headliner was already down for some creaking trouble shooting.

How long ago was the PDR performed, and has the dent re-appeared? What suspension you running when dent appeared?
