2 dents in roof, above club door - defect?
I was waxing the Clubman tonight, and noticed 2 small dents in the roof, right above the club door. I opened the doors and noticed it directly corresponds to the latch at the top of the roof where the club door latches.
Has anyone noticed anything similar on their Clubman?
I have never slammed the doors. I do use the club door once to twice everyday as I transport my daughter. I would hope that would not be classified as excessive use.
Another thing that has me worried is I have been hearing a body creak when I turn and go over bumps. Its kind of like the stress on the car from turning is making something creak like some old car. The sound has been coming from the club door area. After noticing the dents today, Im now concerened. I hope the creak isn't related...
In the picture, I circled the 2 dents. You can kind of see how the reflection is distorted. I also drew 2 lines that lead down to the latch so you can see how the dents line up.

every time I pull into my apartment's parking lot, I get that sound too. Is that bad or just something that comes with anything mechanical?

I have read a couple small threads in another forum that seem to point to the weld dimple issue that was stated earlier. What this means as far as working with Mini, Im not sure yet.
