I too have noticed one on my driver side rear 1/4 panel above the wheel well. I can only see it if I'm looking down the lenght of the car and in certain light. My girlfriend says I'm going crazy because there is nothing there. I wish she could be here right now to read these posts!!!

I think you can only pursue it if u are the original owner ? I forget where I heard this. A lawsuit will do no good though.... it would have to be made public and then somehow god I dunno, maybe GM would actually care ? I doubt it though, considering that they must be smokin some good ****, I mean look at the VIBE ? AZTEC ? And getting rid of the best bang for the buck performance car ?

Hmmm

I was really hoping for some positive help on this. There has to be someone out there that knows what we can do. GM should be held to fix this problem!

my 2001 TA has developed one on the drivers side, i think body flexing causes it, i really wish everyone would quit badmouthing the vibe, i think it's a pretty nice ride, 180 horsepower, looks pretty cool, what's wrong with it?

Dent Dr. info

Hey pu12en12g,

The Dent Dr. is a paintless dent removal franchise. The guy I was working with in MI is no longer around but they are all over. They drill a hole in your door jamb and insert a bar with a rooler on it and smooth it out from the inside. The job looks first rate.

Just look in the phone book under paintless dent removal.

Good Luck.

Angry I've got these too

I have one on my driver and passenger-side. They are very subtle and can only been seen in the right lighting. I know for a fact that I have not put these dents in my car! It has to be something to do with the design of the body! .

Pt: In MN it is called Dent Wizard and they are amazing! My brother had these little "dimple dents" taken out of his car and cost him around $60 each I think? . I can try and find you the number sometime! Let me know.

There's no point trying to fix it, they'll just come back, it's just something you have to accpet, get over it. there only noticable if you look at it closely so who cares? it doesn't bother me. if anybody thinks GM should fix it, get real, what are they going to do, replace half the panels on everycar just to try yo fix a little dent. i'd say screw it too, even if they bothered with it half you goofs would still complain anyway.

Ha Ha YOU are the "goof" if you don't care about dents in your body panels. It's bad enough being careful so that people don't hit your doors in the parking lot, (and trying to baby the car).

But then to top it off, F-body owners get dents because of a design flaw, do you think all cars should have these dimples ?

Pass the crack pipe..

no i was right you are a goof or maybe i should say a baby, you can't handle having a minor flaw on your car, get a life an grow up. If you wan't a top quality car buy a mercdes or anyother high dollar car, why do you think a mercedes costs $80k and an f-bod only cost $30, do you think GM should provide the quaility of a $80k car for $30, you get what you pay for and if you can't realize that and accept it you're a jackass. you're just a whinny little baby that thinks you're too good for any inperfection.

I have 1 on the pass and 2 on the driver. This is the cost of driving your car and parking it. I try to park in the back of the lot as much as possible. If u can park sideways and take 2 spots the you can't get door dings, but watch out for a$$holes that well key ur car if they can't park anywhere.

You've been run off the board twice already for offensive behaviour, name calling, etc (anyone remember "StreetShark"? ). Keep this up and you'll be gone again.
