I always drop the hood to close it, but I have got 2 suspiciously finger-
sized depressions on the trunk lid above the center-mounted brake light.
What makes me cringe is seeing the window-washer at the gas station lean on
the hood to reach the other side with the squeegee - I can see the hood flex.
Of course since they all seem to clean the window with a special emulsion that
causes smearing the next time it rains, I try not to let them do it too often.
