My roof dented very easily when loading one of my kayaks on my bed rack. The front of the kayak hit the top of the roof and when I washed my truck a few days later I noticed it. Ive loaded my kayaks the same way on every other truck ive owned and could literally crawl on my roof and not worry. Hell, a few days later my neighbors kid was standing and jumping on his dodge rams roof and nothing happened. I guess if I ever get in a hail storm (which are common here) this truck will be totaled, with this cheap metal and glass all over it.

isn't chuck like a well known tuner? any reason to doubt his claim? doesn't look like hail to me.

He is down in Houston. Just odd to see a new truck do that. I mean, I figure we have a pretty good collection of 2014-2015 GM owners here and that video he posted is the first I've heard of an incident like this.

 

My only experience was putting a dent on the rear tailgate right where there is a crease. I was pushing off of it to get my trailer to drop on the ball, something I've done with all my trucks. And I guess my work outs paid off ;) because crease dented in and popped right out, but did leave a small dent right in the middle.

Same EXACT thing happened to me. Doh!
