Has anyone noticed a small factory dent/low spot near the rear edge of the doors?


Hi everyone,


I recently noticed a very small, shallow low spot on the rear door of my 2025 Bronco, very close to the rear edge of the door and the wheel arch.


There is absolutely no damage to the paint — no scratch, chip, scuff or transfer mark. The area is so subtle that it is only visible from certain angles when a reflection passes over it.


What makes me wonder if this could be from the factory is the location: it is right next to a fairly complex bend/hemmed edge of the door, and I can see a similar slight distortion on the rear door on the opposite side, although not in exactly the same position.


Has anyone else noticed something similar on their Bronco doors? Could this be a small stamping/hemming tension or factory panel distortion rather than an impact?


I’ll attach a few photos showing the area and the reflection.


Thanks!

Factory side doors are lightweight aluminum...subject to distortion under light loads...has anything struck this area on your door, like someone's knee, or ???

I looked all over my Bronco several times and I can't find this rear door that you speak of.
Average 2 door owner. Has to check.

First OP's rig is totaled by a hit from the side and now somebody stole your back doors!
Will the disasters ever cease?

To be fair, we do have a "rear door", aka the 3rd door or tailgate. It just looks different than the OPs rear door pics. I completely understand the confusion. :)
