Talking to a hire car guy a few years ago about damage to air dams caused by parking in car parks with "positive stop" ahead of solid (ie brick or concrete )walls.

His comment was the dams flex up and slide over the concrete block and the drivers normally put the front wheels against the stop.

The damage is done when the driver then reverses back and , yep you guessed it , the air dam catches on the stop and is ripped off.

Not sure what the solution is apart from careful design and flexible materials.
