I noticed right after I got my H3 that there was a dent in the roof. Was going to mention it to the dealer but forgot about it. Today outside my office was another H3 and I noticed it had the same dent in the same spot. You only notice it if you are above the vehicle. Does everyone have this dent?

That sucks I would have it fixed asap(hope they can).
You should have told them originaly,they might tell you it happened after you left dealer.
Good luck.

I have a view of my roof through my window no dents yet.

Looks like someone dropped something while it was getting unloaded/loaded from the delivery truck... definately should get fixed by the dealer.

I agree, should have told them immediately. I just find it very odd that the H3 in the photos above has the exact same dent in the exact same location. The reason I forgot to tell the dealer in that you never see it unless you are above the vehicle.

hey Newbie, i've got the same dent in the same spot. because i've seen more than one in the same spot, i suspect the shipping rack or tooling at the asm plant. i saw the same dent from my bedroom window the other day and went down to check it out and it was gone!! your right, you don't see it unless your above it. you don't feel too much of a "low" in that area, i wonder if it's characteristic of the sheet metal? if it was "oil canned", it would just pop out, but it doesn't seem to want to move. did you run your hand over it? how much of a low do you feel?

I always forget to check it out. I will try to take a closer look at it later today.

I like the gobi rack idea. maybe the dealerships will give discounted prices on....naa, that's just stupid . If the fix is long turnaround, i'm leavin it. if it's on all of em, we should get somethin other than a "sorry bout that" from gm. however, with the train wreck gm is in right now, i doubt they'd even say sorry.

I just climbed up to get a closer look and you can't even see it up close. I just look real quick but nothing.

This may be a really dumb question, but are you sure that the dent is there? If you study the pic long enough, it appears that the reflections from the tree could be creating the illusion of a dent.

It is there. The H3 in the pic is someone elses that is parked out there today. Mine is parked in another location and you see the same dent.

That's my guess as well. A number of years ago, a co-worker had what looks like a similar circular dent. I believe the explanation was that it occurred at the plant when the body panel was lifted by a jig.

yea i have the 50cal opening too. good thought ddwh. i've seen some sunroof processes/tooling that create odd shapes in the roof during installation. i don't think something struck it, but pushing, pulling, yankin, welding and stuff like that to ,essentially, a 4X8 sheet of steel, can create "lows" in the sheet metal. not uncommon and easy, in the process, to fix. once it's there and been painted though, theres little hope of fixing it. cept for bondo. someone from a body shop would know more than me though.

Apparently since I kept forgetting to tell the dealer it isn't really worth fixing to me

I guess I will see what they say when I have it in to check the marker lights and do the 3K service.
