Unhappy Creases on top of doors normal ?

Hello,

I have just recently noticed that there are is a crease/ding on the plastic body panel where the doors meet the roof. I have a crease on both driver and passenger sides, at the exact same spot. I'm pretty sure it isn't normal but I wonder how both of these plastic parts could have been damaged exactly the same way ???

Does your Z have these creases/dings as well ? Please see my attached pic for comparison. (note that the licence plate cutout is different )

Thanks in advance for any help or advice

Yup, mine has it too; very subtle and not exactly what I'd call a crease, but it's there. I've seen this on many Zs; I think it's normal.

I've got two 'dents' on the hatch area that have been there since I bought the car but I didn't notice them until later...
