The reason I brought it up Doug, I've only noticed it on my two English cars. I had no dimples on my JDM Claret. [1 Japanese driver, 1 diminutive Irish driver] Maybe Rojo is right. I'm 5'6" as well, I only have to flop in and fall out of the car. I strongly suspect my theory of the dimples on the door edge is correct. They are put there by big, heavy people with strong hands. The SVX is so low to the ground that it is not easy to get your legs under you to lever out of the car. Maybe we could post up a poll? See how many people have dimples on the roof? Or have them check now and find they are actually there on the roof, but they had not noticed them before?

I think you would have to be half ape to be able to reach up and hold or press the roof while exiting/entering. I'm 5'4, so obviously have no issues with getting in/out of the car.
And I have tried the trick with the hair dryer and CO2. It works ok, but may take several attempts to remove the dent completely. And it doesnt work on all of them. It may depend on how long they have been there, some metal has a memory and takes a little more persuasive remedies (BFH).
