warped rear fender panels

[Architect]

I did a couple of searches here, but didn't come up with any info...
I was rear ended this past year and the whole rear end was rebuilt (no damage to drive train..:D)....
Now, just behind both rear wheels, just below the belt-line the plastic has warped inward...same on both sides...
Is there an adjustment or how do you fix this...?
I just wanted information before I take it back to the repair shop at the Dealer....
Thanks, Architect

Take it back to the repair shop and show them. It should have a warranty from them.

Mine looks to be warped but it isnt. At certain angles, it looks almost dented, but I ran my hand over it and its straight. Kinda freaked me out the 1st time I saw it. I think its the way the rear bumper is attached, kinda like how it sags in the middle of the rear bumper as well. I dont like the way either looks, so I may find a way to reinforce it myself.

Same here.

If its any kind of a reputable shop that did the work originally, than will redo the work. Problem is, will they do any better the second time?

Same here. I was lifting up on the bumper cover this past week end and it definitely straightens out. Just have to figure out a way to make it permanent.

Caved in bumper sides are more noticeable on dark cars but my SB is the same way!!!:argue:

There is a void behind the deflected area and I believe you can simply put some foam rubber behind it and push it back out.....I just haven't done it yet??:cool4:

I'll look at it again today!!:beer:

Never been rearended and mine is the same way.....

[Dragcity]

Sounds like a concensus. Mine is the same, nature of our cars.

Funny how more things are popping up, or drooping down as the cars age. Funny how that is much like ourselves.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing waxing mine today... Im gonna try the styro-foam
