Got a dent on the rear door where someone has opened their door into mine. Fairly minor, I mean the car has to be clean and in good light to really see the dent. If I can get to it from inside by removing the door trim, what is the best technique to push it out? Is there any danger of making a **** up of this?? MY00 4 dr btw.

 

dont even try it..panels are paper thin and will look awfull..use one of paintless dent repair people..i have had 4 dents removed this way and finish is as new.email me if u want more details..paul

 

Yeah, but what is it these magic guys do to fix the dents. I thought that as long as I can get clear access I could have ago myself. People must apply 'reasonable' force to the inside of the door pannels when fitting sound deadning for ICE? I wasn't going to get the hammer out, maybe some kind of roller or something. That said I'm not brave enough to try this if nobody has done it before!!

 

if you use too much presure you could easily stretch the bodywork outwards - don't do it

no no no no dont do it yourself it will look c--p

 

Had Dentmaster pull a small dent out of my car. They are seriously good at what they do. Don't try it yourself!

 

boost,
i used my 'left' thumb on a small dent in my wing.
the metal is so thin a 'thumb' works very well
