Well now I do have an issue on my C7 with rocks in between the rear quarter panel. I removed them with a very small pick and they were really wedged in there.
Has any one else experienced this issue?

I only drive on paved roads, but obviously these little pebbles are finding there way into this seam.
Dennis. As much as you try. You can't avoid the general crap on our roads. The sweeper guys here did a 6.5 maybe 7 for 10 this spring We've got roads here that were swept in apr/may and they're "pebbly" already. What we need is rain every 3/4 days. And a good dump of it consistently. If not,It's going to find its way these cracks and probably other places.
I try to not look at my car that closely. That way I can pretend everything is fine. 
Well I have said many times to many people that there is a way to keep pebbles, bugs, rock chips in the windshield, rock chips in the paint and dirt on the tires. Leave it covered up in the garage. What fun would that be. We both enjoy this car and appreciate it, but it needs to be driven to be enjoyed. I always admire owners who will put on 100,000 kms on their baby and have many stories to tell about the miles they drove. What a great way to go through life " Enjoying the Ride"
Amen brother !! In 4 summers I've added 56,780 throughout western Canada. (So far)

I have not seen this yet on the C6 or C7s. But I'm going to be looking now.
I cringe when I get out of the main traffic lane or go up an alley and hear all the boulders coming off the tires bouncing on the car. Remember the wheel wells are carpeted so we are hearing the rocks hitting paint!

Ahhh darn, you had to remind me about those rocks going round and round. Truth be known, my wife is worse than me for" What's that, is that a rock?, Is that tar on the road?"
... I am not gonna look 
If you do look and don't see a rock, just think of how excited you will be! Its just like Christmas.
... ya I had to look and ...
Oh geez .... I forgot I just had my C7 apart in a major repair (including both back quarters) ... so I gotta do-over and need to get driving to see how this turns out.
I checked mine today and so far so good. I drive 2 km of gravel every time my car comes out and again when I come home... 15 kph...
