Thats cool i had forgotten about the paintless dent removal people i will check with the dealer to see who they recommend. It just burns my buns that people can be so inconsiderate to others property.

I have also noticed today upon getting into the car that my drives seat squeeks when i sit in it seems that the back rest and seat cushion is squeeking do they have to rip the seat apart to fix this problem or what i like to know before i go so i can compare what they are going to do compared to other dealers that have fixed this problem

My dealer did some minor adjustments to the springtension in my seat (at least that's what they told me).

I know people that used WD40 to cure it. Although this seems to be a very unique way to do it.. (not calling names)

I have just noticed when washing my car on a baulmy 65 degree day in Va that some jerk has dinged my door, 15000 miles and a year ownership in Oct of 2004 and not a nick scratch or rock chip, well except for the curb rash (bbs rxII) and front spoiler rash cause by my wife, although it is a little ding it stands out on a clean jet black car like a big red pimple on a models face.?

As i always park away from everyone came back to the car one day and some beater was parked right next to me with ten spaces on each side of me this person had to be the culprit darnit gotta get this fixed any ding for the rest of the board

Find the absolute best body shop in your area, and ask them to repair it. They should use 'paintless dent removal' that they will probably contract out to some independant guy. I had it done on a serious ding and scuff mark on my Audi and it was absolutely amazing - perfect repair and they only charged me $90. If the paint is still intact, the repair should be absolutely unnoticable.

Then you can ask them who they used, and if they tell you, you can contact the guy yourself. Otherwise, if they're the best shop, I would continue to use them. Going cheap doesn't make any sense when you're talking about a $70,000 car.
