2018 civic SI here. Same problem! I'm afraid of bringing my car in to see a PDR and have it happen again. Has anyone found some type of solution here? I'm in socal.

2018 Honda Civic SI Sedan
I bought a new 2018 SI sedan last week and then within 400 miles noticed these dents on the driver side and then a couple days later on the passenger side. Called the dealership and explained what was goin on and that it seems to be an issue with a lot of sedans but of course was told they had never heard of this issue but would get back to me. A day later they called me back wanting me to drop it off on Tuesday because they had a Honda rep coming in and wanted him to look at it. Later Tuesday they called and said the Honda rep didn't hesitate to cover it and have it fixed by their PDR guy and it was ready to be picked up. We'll see if they come back.

I have this issue and I can tell you EXACTLY what happened. That part of the body is weak and thin af. I dented it myself by laying my hand on it when I bend down reaching into the rear seats to grab my gym bag. It literally warped because of that...I popped it back but damage is done. it's not the same smooth surface compare to the passenger side anymore.

I can say in confidence that all of the people in this thread got the dent/warping there due to them or someone else doing exactly that. Freaking sheet metal is like paper thin in that region with absolutely no support underneath.

Never happened to ANY car I drove and owned. not even the older civics. Honda is cutting too much corners IMHO.

This dent is also on my car, same spot as a lot of others on this thread. Above the rear passengers door. I leaned on it while putting my toddler in the car seat.

I've got them on my 2018, and had them on 2017. They weren't there when I got either of them. I just assumed having to park under a tree, that has huge hard monkey balls and squirrels that toss acorns, that that was what it was from, but now I gotta wonder.
I have a coupe and they are in the exact spots on both cars.

I just checked my 2019 Si and I have the exact same spots described. Mind you I had to really look for them. 3,000 km on my odometer.

Dont really know if I did anything to cause them, because there’s no signs of other dents. So my guess is it’s thin sheet metal as stated. I’ll probably contact Honda at some point this week.

I would say This issue is definitely factory defected because It is not a coincidence case that many Civic owners have same spots of dent (all of them are above of rear window). Do not ask if those dents were hit by ball or some one laying on it. It can be happened one car but amount of civic at different place!!

I just checked my 2019 Si Coupe and it doesn’t have them on the C pillars or anywhere that I couldn’t find. Rock chips yeah bc the paint is straight garbage but luckily no dents that I found.

Also, when I was living in Indiana I had an unlimited monthly car wash and washed my car just about every day. I would notice my spoiler flexing and shaking when going through the dryer but no dents that I can see. Next time I hand wash the car I’ll be sure to pay close attention to check for dents. I’ll report back if I find any.
