yeah, those panels are very weak. from behind, they are not reinforced except at the ends where they are weld to the corners near the lights. I had a dent at the same place and when the autobody shop fixed it, it started to tin-can. I fixed it by shinking it with an oxy-acetylene torch and cooling with a cold wet towel. then I used some fiberglass filler.
might have gotten them from leaning there like when gassing up or soemthing .
most of my dings are on the quarterpanels right behind the door's edge. People just love swinging their doors open.

I dont have a dent there, but my trunk near the top where it curves down at the very back of the car. I have about 20 little ball looking dents right on top in a little line. I hate it and think somebody did it on purpose. its a pos trunk.
