I posted this question in the 5th generation forum too. Bought a new Ram on Thursday and when I got it home I see a small dent and the paint is a little rough here too. This is really small and you need to look for it to see it. Took it to the dealer and the manager said it is a factory rivet defect and will require body work. I see bondo and a newly painted door in my future....but I don't think that is good enough on a brand new truck with something that should have never left the factory. I would like either a new door or some kind of extended warranty in case this gets worse in the future. What do you people think?

The factory just didn't catch this one, you'd be surprised how many vehicles get fixed at the factory or after transport that the end consumer never knows about. I'd have the dealer fix it and then of course, warrant it.
