Had about a 5" crease appear a few inches below the door handle on the drivers side rear door. No paint scuff or other sign of damage. Took truck to a guy that does paintless dent removal. He told me he has seen this before and it was caused because the door skin expanded but where it was glued to the brace inside the door did not. He removed some of the glue in that spot and worked the crease out. He was careful to only remove the glue where the crease was so it would not create a rattle. Looks like it was never there now.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Too late for a picture? Not heard of this before.

My rear door (drivers side) got a vertical crease in it as well. I chalked it up to leaning against it when I was getting gas. Now that has me wondering if I did not cause the crease.

Good luck ever getting this problem fixed under warranty.

Good day

It's sounds like @cmehas already had the repair carried out.

After the fact they have posted this discovery (I know I haven't heard of it before) for everyone's edification.

I also appreciate the post, as the problem has been posted about, and also the reason for the crease appearing in the first place.

Now the information is available for anyone who does a search, etc.

Cheers,

Andy
