Default Common fender problem?

I've noticed it around michigan and it's happen to my car anybody notice the creased fender because of the door bending it in? I have pics but idk if I can upload from my phone. I wanna replace the fender but I'm wondering if its because the door or fender is off liniment or if this is just a common problem on these 00-05 gens

It could also be a rust issue at the bottom of the fender at the door. There's alot of dirt,sand,salt,and rocks building up in this area and even if you wash it out with a hose,like I do,its rusts out and the doors rubs. It does it on both sides.
