Thread: Service lift dented the floor panel.

  1. #1

    Service lift dented the floor panel.

    Today I was looking under my car and noticed small dents that must have been from a local shop improperly jacked up the car.Â* The dent can be seen from inside the car on rear passenger's footwell when the trim is removed (the panel under there seems thin). The question is do I need to have this repaired or I can just leave it? Does this type of damage affects structural rigidity of the car, or just purely cosmetic? I just wanted to make sure the damaged area is not related to the frame or structural part of the car. Thanks.

    You should be fine Mark. As long as there is no penetration into the cabin creating a hole you are ok. The damage look purely cosmetic and the outside elements should not intrude into the cabin and carpet.

    How's Thailand treating you?

    Just go to vatozone and get a can of that rubber undercoating stuff and spray it. That stuff is great.
