Just picked up my CLK BS and the passenger side front panel had a door ding just below the A-pillar, bummer. Looks like it's going to be difficult to fix. The service rep and I were taping on the panel, and it appears to be plastic, is it? When tapping, there is a noticeable difference in sound.

Anyone had any similar door dings in this area, if so, were you successful in repairing without body work?

Thanks
Todd

Not a door ding its a crease in the fender, most of the BS have them. If the dealer orders another fender it'll have the same crease after its mounted. I believe it's due to the mounting hardware that pull the composite in. Search is your friend.

Toddturbos,

There is also a survey that pointed out the color and built date of most of the affected vehicles.

What is your vehicles color and build date..?

Color is Silver, not sure what the build date.

I think the build date is in the door jam?

It's not a door ding. The front quarter panels are made of carbon / urethane I believe. I recall my dent guy previously told me that it can't be dented like the Saturn doors.

Interesting, the panel has a different feel to it, carbon / urethane makes sense. Anyone try to have a dent guy remove this?
