Gouges on Slide Fiberglass

I noticed the last time I put the slide out that I have two huge gauges in my rear slide. Here are pictures of the slide. Do you think this would be covered under factory warranty?

    The obvious question is fault...if it was caused by something "bent" behind the seal, how did it bend? Can you see it? If this a defect , other trailers should have the same problem, do some research. Warranty work like that is not something they will easily or quickly pay on.....you need to present a case for manufacturing defect....

    Looks like something behind the seal might have gotten bent. I have had the trailer for about 4 months. I feel that it is something that should be warrantied and the fiberglass repaired since the trailer is almost new.
