Rear passenger side fender issue

[Jeeperjamie]

Anyone know what could of caused this. Considered a trip to the dealership. Almost looks like something came up from underneath it and hit it. The discoloration is a mystery. None of the other ones look like this. Haven't gotten anything on them and my JKU fenders never did this.

It looks like something got too hot and overheated it

That's what it looks like to me too. Can't seem to figure out what it could be though. Looked all around and the inner fenders are still there and don't look damaged.

Maybe a chemical burn?

Could you be catching a reflection off something on sunny days? My last house had an area of discolored and distorted siding where the sun would reflect off a window. It might even be reflecting off your side panel onto the fender.

Not sure. I back in sometimes at the house and sometimes pull straight in. Basically in the shade at work. It's 5:00 AM when I leave in the morning and around 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening when I get back home. That's Monday- Friday for the most part.

This was my thought as well. Definitely looks like, from the photo, it was caused by heat. Very strange.

Tire flex impact friction? I just made that up. Hahaha
