Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had my 99 for two years,The hood and trunk has dents coming up from the inside.They are all coming up from where the inside crossbraces are located.Starting to look bad now.I saw 3 hoods on ebay for sale and the seller said theirs had this same problem.Any ideas.

POST 3Original post

maybe you or the previous owner has shut the trunk onto something too tall to fit in the shallow trunks?

POST 4Original post

Yep, me too...trunk and frunk. I think it's from people sitting on them and the metal bending around the braces.

POST 5Original post

Sounds like the seal is old or collapsed and rough roads allow contact at points with very tight clearance, or the brace moves enough to contact the hoods. Cover the inside of the affected area with that carbon paper used in receipt books and drive on rough surfaces. See if it shows any contact points.

POST 6Original post

I have some as well on the trunk. Reeeeall sucks. Definitely looks like someone tried really hard to make a big square box fit in the trunk and the two corners nearest to the end of the trunk didn't fit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
