    How does a foam pad cause 1600$ Worth of damage to anything? That sounds crazy to me.

    Maybe he meant the machine hit the fender after the pad flew off? Don't know. Just guessing. The thread is on here somewhere. I can't search from my phone.

    That's what happened. The machine supposedly hit the panel he was working on.
