    I have a 2017 Wrangler Sahara. I noticed my rear tailgate door has a little crease towards the upper right hand corner. Has anyone noticed? Is that manufactured that way or did someone dent my door? There is no scratch or chipped paint in the area. Thoughts?

    Welcome! No crease or dents on mine. Either you bought it that way or someone tapped into your spare or someone slammed the tail gate shut with something caught in between, etc
    Post some pics

    Looks like it was "tapped"

    That ain't no crease. That be a dent! Since the paint is unscathed it could have been a "soft" impact against a tree branch or a strike from a bat or baseball for example or someone's pushbar or stinger.
    IMO if it's not causing any water leaks or rusting leave it or cover it with some trim.

    For Namato's case I hope it wasn't a bat. LOL

    And, welcome from Florida Namato!
