I have two small dents on my rear quarters too. Also have one on my trunk from when I tried to fit a small luggage bag in it and slammed the trunk on the handle. It absolutely kills me. You can't notice any of them though; it's only with certain angles of light that you can see the indentations.

I'll get it all fixed though when I get the car repainted years down the road. But I do feel your pain

I just had my dents removed as well. I don't know where they came from. I thought they were from people hitting my car while at work but now I'm starting to think just leaning on the car lightly can easily cause dents

Have you considered paintless dent removal? Those guys (the good ones) are amazing in what they can fix and for a fraction of what body shops get. I have seen it firsthand. Had some dings handled on my daily.

To the OP: I don't want to tempt fate and say I have no dents on my rear quarters. So I won't say that.

I've wondered for a while how I got dents on the same exact spots on both rear quarters... Have one right above the body line on the flat plane next to the top corner of the door, and 1 or two others similar to door dings. And yeah, they can only be seen in certain light angles, but they still bother me because I know they're there. Anyone know how much PDR guys generally charge per ding/dent (ballpark)?

I have 2 small dents on my front drivers side panel, like all of you, cant really notice it unless the light hits it just right. Even then some people have a hard time seeing this. I will get the removed but still cant find a good dent removal guy here in the London,Ontario area.

My car had some very shallow dents on both quarters. I think they were from the guy who replaced the top leaning against it. Had them fixed for 150. Carisma is the place to go in SE PA.
