NO I was hoping a mechanic who knows about repairing hard top convertible , would be aware of a specific tool that is required for use and would place extreme pressure on the top of the back fender causing the indention's . That is where they came from and the repair shop is claiming they do not know what I am talking about .

I believe an experienced mechanic will , because there is uniformity to the pressure points of the indentions . It is as if a very specific tool is used in the process of repairing the top , but if know one knows or i am not being clear enough that's ok too . I may have to visit a mercedes mechanic .
