Paint crack on door
Have developed a small 1 inch crack in the paint on the passenger side door. Cracks starts in the upper corner of the door and window glass above the door handle where the body is a little thin in the area where it comes to a point.
Anyone else encounter this problem? Does not appear to be a crack in the body. Not sure what caused it. I did jack the car up and change fluids but I jacked at the correct points. Could the body have flexed and put pressue on the door corner? Want to fix but want to find out why this happened so I can avoid in future. Recommendations on repair?
Cleaning the Corvette can create a lot of stress. Should be more enjoyable but really tears at me to see what things or grimlins have attacked my car. It is a true love / hate thing with me. I remember every detail of my car and find EVERY new change. It can cause real mental anguish. Thanks for listening. Other people can not relate to my crisis behavior.

Haven't noticed anything like that on my car, but it could be some sort of stress crack. Hopefully it is just in the paint and not the panel itself.
