hmm i got a dent from I think the corner of suitcase on the plastic hump in the trunk that covers the rear strut. It's right around one of the removable squares to access the the top of the rear strut... think it canbe pulled back out.. and if so what you think the best way is?

 

its plastic, so now sure if you can pop it out. Or just buy a new unblemished one:

I know one of the sides has a noticible dent but it is supposed to be there. Someone here has a pic of it...

 

is it the dent in this picture?



if so, i've also seen it in my friend's ITR and im not sure why its there...but it is

 

Everyone has that dent in the picture. It just 'is'.

 

hmm..interesting..

EDIT: Just looked at my old 97 RS pic and saw it had that dent too.. no clue why but more luggage space I guess.

I dont' see it, what are you guys talking about?

 

oh snap that might be it.. I jsut never noticed it? cus in that same place was a large suitcase from an airport run and I thought it got dented lol... hmm but if everyone has the dent then woohoo.. no problem after all lol.. thanks

 

Yea, could somebody add an arrow to that pic.

 

 

Thanks AssPenny.

LOL, I was looking for a small dent too.....yea, thas supposed to be there.

 

This thread makes sack laff.

 

hahaha....

...there's 4 holes in the front of my car, and sometimes light comes out of them. is this normal?

 

i thought i dented my car, too. i have a sealed sub in there, so it rolls around. that was until chris (socalitr) told me that everyone has it.

 

 

lol!

 

That looks normal to me.

 

lol, why is that "dent" supossed to be there?

-Sergio, who thought he dented his interior as well

 

I think at some point all of us wondered where the hell that dent came from.

 

Whoever figures out why that dent is there can also take a crack at answering why the rubber hatch molding has an imperfection molded into it (right above the handle). It's on every R I've ever seen.

 

good work....lol

 

If plastic bends or dents it usually will show white stress marks

 

Heres my thought on that. The "dented" side is actually the way it should look, the abnormal side to me is the left side with no "dent", and to me it has no "dent" because thats the side where we pump gas. So to me it seems like thats why that side can't have the dent, to make room for the tube or whatever it is back there to allow the gasoline to travel to the gas tank.

EDIT: hopefully that made sence in a weird twisted way

The dent is to maximize luggage space.

 

Got any pics of this?
