You could always pull the pinch weld back to where its suppose to be.
I guess it depends how bad, got any pics?
Thats why I never put jack stands under the car unless its on a structural point, I commonly use the rear engine cradle bolts.
I also use the front lower radiator support, this is where they sit for me most of the time.

Ya I jack up the car from the lower radiator support as well. And I use the pinch weld but make sire to put it a little farther back towards the middle more.
well how do i fix this? i dont have any pics
Well first off...just bend the pinch weld back to how its suppose to be. If its flat I doubt it will do anything to the fender. Just take off the fender and see if your door hits anything that could cause anything to happen. It's kind of hard for me to explain how you can fix this other then you getting a fender and replacing it.
