| Description of the problem | By just pushing with my thumb finger on the body of my car i was able to do small dings. The body metal has no resistance and no "memory" . When i push a little on the metal ,the metal stay and does not take back is initial position. The sheet metal body is way too thin. Are there any regulation about the metal thickness? |
