Dents next to sunroof??? Anybody else had this problem?

I haven't driven my car in about a month waiting on a bumper and i go in the gargage and there are two dents on each side of my roof right next to the back corners of my sunroof. They are in the exact same spot and exact same size?? Has anybody had anything like this, or is it just normal and i have never noticed it?

Has the car been in an accident? Have you hit any real big potholes/curbs? Is your suspension modified and your ride height is real low, so low you ride on the bumpstops and every bump is transfered into the chassis? Things like that can bend the frame a tad and leave dents like you are talking about.

I have them all over the place. My guess it is from the chasis twisting at the track.

I dont have a sunroof, but it looks like a part of the sunroof is tied in there, and when it is either full open or closed, it is pulling on the roof, creating a dent over time. Just too suspicious to not be related to the sunroof. Any 05's or 06's with this problem yet?
