I can actually get to the back of the dent by just opening up the sunroof, i tried to get it out using a little leverage, but its not one of those dents that will just pop out.

My guess is that is has something to do with twisting/torsion of the frame. The roof has a whole for the sunroof which allows for some twisting. That's my only guess...anyone WITHOUT a sunroof have any?

Hey guys. Those dents are not because the frame is twisting or something has fallen on your car. They are dents caused by the factory stamped sheet metal. The factory uses huge metal presses to shape/cut the body panels. I work in a body shop and would say 90% of vehicles with sunroofs have those dents. No worrys. I body shop could fix them but i would say its not worth it.
