I have an aluminum sided trailer that had a similar problem when new. There was a dimple protruding from the inside of the trailer on the front cap. It was not there when I did the pdi. It got worse over time, so I phoned Crossroads ( Manufacturer) and the said it was probably a screw from the inside.
I decided to look myself to save the trip to the dealer. Inside the bedroom closet, I removed the panel and found one of the screws holding the framing in place was an inch longer than the others. It did not pierce the siding and is still ok today.
If there is a cupboard there or some other structure, you could have the same situation. Unfortunately with the damage to the fiberglass, yours will be an expensive repair.
Good luck and keep us posted!
