Default What would you do?

Got a new 2015 F150 Lariat on Monday. I've put 125 miles on it. I just noticed that there is a small dent in the passenger door. You have to be standing at a perfect angle to even see it. I am 100% certain this hasn't happened on my watch. It's not been parked next to another vehicle yet. Kinda bummed about it but the dealer will probably assume it's happened since delivery. Should I bring it to their attention?

If it bothers you then let them know. Unfortunatly no matter how diligent you are it will get dings now and again.
I had a simillar barely there ding above my fender emblem that i notice a day after delivery. I figured if that was the first one it wasnt so bad and the dealer was 2hrs away.
If they wont help you a paintless dent guy could probably fix it up depending on where its located.

Funny you post this. My passenger door is damaged underneath and tore the weatherstrip seal thing. I have pics of the truck on the lot when I bought it and it's damaged so there is proof it was damaged before I brought it home. Dealer has ignored my complaints thus far.

I say get it fixed why not. I do paintless dent repair for a living but have yet to work on one of these new f150 im curious to see if the are gonna be pdr fixable. Aluminum is not easy to work with I have fixed tons of aluminum hoods but the aluminum on the f150 is fairly thick so its hard to say how it will be to work with.

Once you drive it off the lot it's all over. They won't fix a thing. I wouldn't worry about.

If it's not that noticeable I would forget about it. It's gonna get dents and dings over time anyway. If it really bothers you that much, contact your dealer, worse they can do is refuse to fix it.
