^ That's a different dent, it's not in the same place as the dents supposedly caused by bodyflex.

I've seen it closer to the rear on other tCs, but I haven't checked my own.

well, i don't know what you guys are talking about
Looked over my car when it was clean and saw nothing

maybe your talking about fender lines? lol

I think i may not have it cause I have the ingalls 4-point rear structural brace coupled with a trd sway bar

lol could you atleast take a picture of your car, and circle the area where the flex is, even if we can't see the dent?

I was wondering what happened to my car to make that panel flex in so much. But it happened on one side only, so I thought it was a phantom shopping cart.

SUCKS tho. so gross... looks like some dude got real excited when lookin at my car and made a mess.................

if it's not body flex then i guess it's just my dumb, bad luck.

i have a random vertical dent thats quite tall about 1 inch from the passenger side door on the rear panel. im on Htechs and i had the greddy rear strut bar and still have the front strut bar. it kinda popped out of nowhere, but i just recently noticed it... i cant tell if it was already there or if someone actually hit me, since its kinda low for anything to.. but its there.. could it be proof of this problem as well?

i have that exact flex dent on mine, two weeks after i bought it, the one on the pass. side..and now i hav a weaker one on my drivers side.......they're on my rear quarter panels, above the body -line crease, and directly in line with the middle of the rear side glass.....

i always wondered what it was because a door cant get to it without smashing in the bodyline crease.....

so they fixed it?...were they hessitant?.....and it came back?

here's a pic that i've drawn on...it is nearly impossible to get a pic of it..you have to move around to notice it...



is this the spot your talking about?

I have the same Fking thing. I just realized what it is. I hate it. I have had these stretch marks going vertically along the quarter panels from the body line up and I was always wondering what these are. Booooo now I know. 3 Cheers for 1AZ for teaching us!

Well, after staring for about 10 mins at each side, getting the light JUST right, I can see it on both sides, but honestly (for me) BFD.
I had to look so hard to see it that I don't care.
If yours is really bad, OK, but I'm not sweatin' it.
The reason you can't photograph it is because it's damn near impossible to see...
