sexyRTboi Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 While cleaning my R/T the other day, I was sitting while cleaning the rims up and noticed something. On the inside lip of the pass. side front fender Ive noticed what appears to be a buckle in the metal. Its at the top of the wheel well right infront of the bolt/pin that holds the fender to the vehicle. Doesn't appear to be damage, upon further inspection its totally painted, no chipping or peeling ... but its a very noticeable "bump" in the metal ... I have no idea how I've missed this in the 14 mths of owning her but its there. I brought it up to my dealer while I was in for the windows to be replaced and he was much more alarmed than even I was .... his concern, which I never even thought of, its that water/salt can easily get into that bend and just sit there ... even through a usual carwash it wouldn't spray out that part so his worry was salt/water getting in there and causing premature rusting at that spot. He's made a big note on my account for the bodyshop to check it all out the next time Im in for servicing .... Anyone else notice anything like this?? -- I'll try to get a picture of it and post it to show exactly what Im talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgwog Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Are you saying at the 12 o'clock position in the wheel well? If so, mine is fine. All smooth. Edited August 15, 2013 by Rgwog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
