    For the guys suggesting PDR. What would a PDR guy use that would be different than popping it out by hand?

    Guess I should have been specific. What tool would be used on that dent. Like a suction cup?

    Reach up there and it will more than likely pop out with just your hand pressure.

    I had a similar dent in mine from someone backing into me, and I was able to pop it out and it looks 100% fine.

    My PDR guy has a small trailer he pulls around so he can come to you. He has more instruments than a brain surgeon. Shit you not, I bet the guy has a special tool for each and every possible dent. The good ones know thier shit and can easily make that look like it never happened.

    Definitely get a PDR guy do it, I tried to fix a dent on my roof (1 1/2 inch dent) and made it worse. PDR cost me 400 due to the location of the dent and me making it worse than it was originally. You can't tell there was a dent there.

    It's all good. The perfect dent in metal might work?

    Oddly I found the same dent in the same spot as mine couple years ago. I grabbed one of those suction cups and pulled the dent out and a rubber mallet on the inside of the panel. Could never tell there was damage. Hope this helps. The dent looks easily fixable.

    On My ATV I had back into the side fender with my truck and pushed it in pretty good. Used a rubber mallet and would not hardly budge. Let it out in the sun and a few hours later I could not see the big dent anymore it just popped by itself and that is when I learned about heat and plastic.

    I used a suction cup phone mount to remove a dent in the new fridge that our contractor screwed up during our kitchen remodel. Popped right out... I was in shock that it actually worked. Not as exciting as the @Bertw192 method though.

    As a fellow Bert, you may not want to promote this "Bert Method"... Would hate for that to become the name of that maneuver.


    ... Who am I kidding? I'd love to have that maneuver named after me! :bananadance:
