Indentation around Antenna

[02TafWhtSi]

Well, I've had this issue since day one but I'm just now reporting it to you guys. Not sure if its normal (hope it is) but there's a slight indentation in the roof directly surrounding the antenna - a perfect circle around. Its pretty slight but still noticeable. Also, when I dry the roof and get to that area it always bends in slightly and snaps back with a noise (sounds like Saturn's plastic doors if you press your finger into it - comes back into shape.) So here are a few pics to give you some idea. Like I said, its pretty slight but still visible. Please tell me your looks the same :o

Sorry bro, not normal... What happened? somebody jackin off your antenna and they squeezed it too hard on the down stroke? :confused:

A) They tightened the antenna too much(Seen it on the L300 made by saturn)

B)some one tryed to jack your ish.(but doubt it)

yup.. the metal on the roof is really thin.. u can jus push it in.. but i don't have that circle dent. someone push in or tighten the antenna too much...

My car has a very subtle ring around the same area, I had dent-pro massage the area out for $45 bucks, I pulled the trim and B-pillar sides off and he lowered the headliner for the guy. otherwise it would have been $120.

I noticed my dented area about two days after picking my car up from the dealer, I always thought it was damaged from the Quality control dept when the mounted it up there, and installed my shift knob.

nope...that definitely ain't norm.

why do some of you think that over tightening may result in a circular indentation? the screw isn't long enough to drive the dent...I thought...:o

Not Normal / don't have it myself / Know the sound /

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept it. It really isn't all that bad - no one notices it unless I specifically point it out. I could be a pain and take it back to Honda but I know know they'll just BS me because of my mods (which have nothing to do with the problem :rolleyes: ). Anyway, thanks for clearing this up guys - at least now I know its a "me only" problem and not a characteristic of the car.
