Default Weird Body Issue

I never noticed it but it looks like I have a type of dent that would have come from the factory. It's in the middle of the passenger front door (crew cab) by the rear of the door where there is a seam/gap before the rear door begins.

Anyone else have issues with their body work on their 15's?

It's not any type of dent you would get from a parking lot; it had to have come upon assembly.

I have something that sounds similar, but it's on the driver side rear door. Mine is a circle maybe a little smaller than a tennis ball. I don't have a picture right now, but in a couple of days i can get one. A pic of yours might help.

I had a very similar issue when I picked mine up. It was in the drivers front door. Dealer had a paintless dent company take it out. Can't even tell it was there. Mine was about the size of a golf ball

Flip a can of compressed air over and freeze it, then hit it with a hair dryer on high or heat gun on low. It should pop right out.

Would highly recommend against this until you take it to the dealer to have it looked at.

But, if the dealer tells you to pound sand and you don't feel like fighting with them, by all means this *should* work.
