Has anyone else encountered warped door panels? Just bought my car Saturday and shame on me really for not looking it over carefully. Noticed the next day that the passenger back is warped in the center and the drivers is warped near the front. I do live In Arizona but idk it's just odd how two doors are warped. Wonder if it's a known issue? I asked the dealer if they are willing to help out but probably won't happen. I didn't get it at Mini.its a 2012 all4
Check where you park and if the sun reflects off the side mirrors onto those two areas... if it does, park somewhere else or back in.
I think the OP is saying that she just bought the car and noticed the door panels a couple of days afterward. Wouldn't likely have had time for this to have happened since she has owned the car.
Hmmm.... you could remove the door panels, bend them back down and tape/secure them in place for an afternoon in the warm sun and then reinstall them. That might help.
My passenger side is like that. I bought the car used as a 2015 in 2016. So the car was only one year old. It's bothering me so I probably will try to reshape it
