Hard to say, but looking at the panel gaps it looks like it may have been too close to the hood and been bent during opening / closing of the hood.

Go look at other same model year cars before you panic.

the gaps are perfect. you don't see the distortion in the metal?

No that panel gap is actually quite close to the fender. Ford is known to have some of the worst panel fitment in the industry. Its possible it bent it as some point, or its entirely possible that something fell and hit your car and dented it slightly.

instead of calling me a liar try another theory.
its not a dent, its a high spot, if you guys don't know what that means google it.

that's why its weird.

Do you have hydraulic lifts. I've had that happen on a car when closing the hood manually and hydraulic lift failed and I bent the hood​

Bud, none of us are calling you a liar, you asked for help and multiple people gave you the same answer. Sorry if you can't accept that answer. I suggest you change your tone if you want people to continue to help

This guy does this in every thread where he asks for help. Doesn't matter your intentions; prepare to get insulted. He belongs on an ignore list.

yeah i've seen that too. this is inside the fender and all the gaps have plenty of space. plus no paint is damaged anywhere. its as if someone pushed up from the inside of the fender.

Here’s the problem. Directly under that spot is some bolt head or something like that. If any pressure is applied to the top of the fender, the aluminum bends from being pushed up by it from below.

lol starts a tread asking for advice and then tells everyone they're wrong. What a douche!

that's kind of what i'm thinking. at this point I shouldn't be surprised other loud people on this forum can't see how an inverted dent with no metal to metal contact is weird but here we are

So if you had it all figured out why bother asking? So basically you bent your fender and sent some terrible pics asking for an opinion on how you damaged your own car. Can't make that shit up.

Have a good PDR guy look at it. Should be fixable.
