right below the rear vent there is a fairly large indentation on most of them?? i am assuming it is just stressed from where the sheet metal is cut out around the place for the window and vent areas.. is there any way to fix this?? i have it more on one of my quarter panel than the other and they are both nos panels...Dave..

Looks pretty straight to me :hmm:

Maybe it's more noticeable in person. I'll have to look at mine later.

look down the quarter panels right below and kind of in back of the rear vent.. there are large dents sort of on my passenger one and not really on the drivers one.. they are more prominent in some others i have seen and not in others.. also the same goes to right in front and below the window cut outs.. thanks though.. they are nice quarter panels since they are nos.. but still have goofy little defects!!! lol

Am not seeing what you describe showing up on either of the quarter panels of our early-series D.

Never heard mention of it before.

Yet, as we say in our product inspection department "if the customer says they see it then they are seeing it - even if we cannot see it".
