Dents just take on bad closing.

I would not push on the bar. Just fling it down with the inside handle or push the glass or bottom of the hatch.

There is really nor real good way to fix this with out major work. It is just thin steel to save weight just as Toyota, Honda, Ford and all the others use.

What is amazing to me is how it has taken 4 model years before someone here noticed them.

It has been discussed since the first model year.
