Anyone else have what looks like a small dent above their driver side mirror. Just noticed it the other day, it wasn't there a week ago. BMX269 has the same dent in exactly the same place.
It would be impossible for it to be a door ding because it is so high up and the mirror would get hit first. I think it may be caused by the chassis flexing. Anyone else notice this on their car.

I don't know about that, but if you look down the side of your car near the door handles-you will see small dents in front and behind the handle. This was on all the Ep's at the dealer-and on mine from day 1 on both sides.

I have one on my drivers door, and my passenger door. It's been there since I've had my car. It's pretty unnoticeable to me.

" I have one on my drivers door, and my passenger door. It's been there since I've had my car. It's pretty unnoticeable to me."

Actually on the door? The ones i'm talking about are on the front pillar above the mirrors.

The pillar is part of the door, that's what I meant.

I had the same dent... I noticed when I bought my EP. they were able to get someone to massage it out or use one of those dent kings on it. Warranty covered it.

The only tiny dents I've had on my car so far were a few inches below each door handle. I got one fixed and then noticed another on the driver side door, but I know it's not me. Probably people banging my doors in parking lots :mad:
I'll go in an hour or two and try to see if I can find what you're talking about. If I do I'll snap a pic.

I dont have any dents up near the mirror, but i do have 2 right under the window.....no scratches, paint or anyhting....just a small dent from a car door (maybe 4" wide?)...it's not horrible looking, but more than enough to piss me off. My girlfriend used one of those Dent-king things on her car, and it took all the paint off where you glue it to the car.......no good. I hate dents.

my guess is they probablly strapped the cars down too tight on the trailer when transporting them. This is fairly common I was just at my bodyshop where they had a new mazda 6 with a similar problem.
