Creases in skin

Found this today, both curb and driver sided. Just behind the front windows . Does anybody know the reasons for this.

It looks like someone let the window guard flop back too hard.

My guess, also. Just the weight of the hinged guard resting against the skin can leave a mark.

Correct. Those creases form pretty easily when the rock guards are open and the wind catch them or what have you.
