    Came out to my truck today and had a dent right in my view while driving
    What’s the best way to fix this?
    Not sure where this belongs so please redirect me if it goes somewhere else

    Even with it being on a bend or corner, a PDR guy will be able to make it a whole lot better.

    Can’t pop it up from underneath? Or is the unibody frame in the way?

    Tried the hot/cold method?

    We had a softball size hail storm hit the Wife’s car once, I knew it was totaled and even the window was busted out but the Paintless dent guy set up at a local dealer and fixed my wife’s car to where you would of never knew a thing happened. OP, your dent is nothing for them guys.

    Had a white oak acorn drop from a tree and hit my hood a little closer to the windshield......dent isn't quite as noticeable, but I can live with it.

    I’m gonna call someone Monday and see what they say and take it by
    I haven’t had time. It’s to cold and dark here now, will look into it tomorrow

    I wouldn’t mind to much but it’s right on a character line and it bends the sun around it and makes the glare even worse lol

    I'd probably prefer the person doing my dent removal to be wearing pants.

    Agreed that most of that dent will come right out using a professional. I have seen them do amazing things with dents.

    Yep, +1 for paintless dent removal, I had a 3" crease dent on my drivers door from a co-workers door caught by the wind, PDR took it out 100%, I was actually surprised they were able to get the crease out completely.
