My dad has a 95 Ram 1500 and soon after he got it new he noticed dints on the hood, I got my 99 Dakota and it has dints in the same spot. It's a problem with the hinges, we've just lived with it.

this is an area that is over the hinges but the hinge is much longer and has only 2 bolts per side. there is sub structure between the hinge mounts and the outer painted skin. This structure is attatched to the finish skin with spot welds. This is the problem
