Roof Dent

I guess somebody was mad and decided to take it out on my brz.. Anyone know what I can do or how much it would cost to fix this dent in the corner of my roof?

First off ....... I don't see any dent ...... therefore, it must not exist .....for me at least......

Since it must be on the passenger side, if a passenger sees what they think is a dent......just tell them it's the lighting......

Or, like @jmark suggests, have a PDR person look at it (if they can find it). They should make it all better for about $100.

Depending on the person doing the PDR, they may change a bit more seeing how they need access to the dent in order to fix it. This means possibly taking the headliner off which in turn may charge more time.

Remove the headliner yourself before bringing it to PDR.
After PDR take the opportunity (or not) to put some sound deadening up there before reinstalling the headliner.
Done.

I think they may be able to sort it without touching the lining.


Why add extra weight in the roof when our cars are all about low c&g..

That's dependent on the owner. Some are more casual about actual performance and don't go all out (hence adding subwoofers and such).
But of course the OP doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to. It was only a suggestion.

The roof is thin enough for a PDR technician to probably do a glue pull. They won't have to access it internally.
