Creases in metal outside of window felt... someone stealing my car?
Washed the '08 today... my car is black so this clarifies any scratches or whatever I can't see when it's covered in grime.
I was driving it and looked in the drivers mirror, and to my horror discovered a pair of faint creases, just ahead of where the lock pin is, on the flat portion of the door skin just outside of where the outer window felt/moulding clips in.
Now, I'm pretty sure these weren't always there, as I would have noticed looking in the mirror at other times.
Are these from a wedge from some jerk trying to slim jim my door?
The creases are very faint and travel left and right (functional l&r, as you are sitting in the drivers seat.) Maybe some artifact of manufacture that I have never noticed?
Ughhh.

Please post a pic..... my car is black and I have noticed something very similiar (I think) to what you are describing. It looks sort of wrinkly..... I dont think my car has ever been a target of theft. I think its just the way these cars are made- FORD. I asked a friend of my with a legend lime stang, and he said he has the same thing. (its a bit wrinkly where the top of the door (somewhat flat part) meets the rubber/weather stripping crap, right?

Yeah, that's exactly it. I can't get pictures until tomorrow or friday (have to get cam, take pics, bring cam to work b/c I lost all the **** cords to connect the camera to the computer!).
Maybe they were always there! Man that would be great. LOL.
**** Fords!
I'll add that in response to this discovery I went out and flogged the car around town for a few hours last night.
