    Brand new 2015 Tacoma 4x4 6 cyl. Access cab; less than 6 weeks of ownership and under 500 miles. I've already had to pull 4 dents out of the roof panel as a result of washing and waxing activity. These occurred with very little bearing or pressure on the areas.
    The local dealership shrugs their shoulders and swear they've never encountered this problem before; while offering no assistance or solutions. I'm literally afraid to wipe the roof off for fear of creating another dent!
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Yep. I put a dent in my roof the first wax. Pulled it out with a "Ding King" You gotta use the light touch. It's kind of sad that it can be dented that easily.

    Yea ...washing my truck is always scary because I'm always worried about finding or causing dents lol. Even places where you think are the strong point will dent. Did you take pics of the dent before and after?

    No, I was too pissed off. It sticks up just a hair now but looks better than an 'innie' It's a lot more subtle.
