    Definitely try pushing with your hand first, I wouldnt use a rubber mallet. If you can't reach under their without moving the liner you could try one of these:

    Thats what I plan on doing. Any experience with the little suction cup plungers? I just don't want to mess it up doing that if pushing it out with my hand will be the safer option.

    I dont think the suction cup would hurt anything, If you have a go-pro with suction mount its basically the same thing so you could try that to.

    This is the kind of dent that is perfect for the paintless dent removal people. If you have the little cubbys above the wheelwell, that would make access really easy. If you're going to have a PDR guy fix it, don't try it yourself 1st.

    That is just like one i had once. It cost me $100 to pay someone to “roll” it out from the inside. Looks like it never happened.

    Yeah I agree. Lots of experience with these guys, magicians i tell you. If you want it all the way out dont touch it, you'll make it harder to get out with pdr.

    You "may" be able to push some of it out,but that will need pdr'd to look 100%. I've been doing PDR for 21yrs so I know my biz :cool:

    I had a dent a little smaller than that removed by a PDR guy. Drove to my work to do it, charged me $90 and it looks flawless.
