    call a PDR pro, pay them and watch the magic happen.
    I wouldn't take the bet, on bangin' that out on my own, I'd rather leave it than F it up even more.

    There is no "popping it out" the metal is stretched inward. as stated above, contact a PDR (paintless dent repair) professional, (read reviews, get referrals, talk to a dealer, or body shop that use their services, dont pick the first one).

    DO NOT TRY TO FIX THIS YOURSELF. If you make it worse, the cost will be more for your repair. yes, I know there are instances and youtubes about plungers, suction cups, heat, water, ice etc... those are so few and far between, and they dont show you when it gets heated in the sun, or cooled by a cold day, where the dent reforms (oil can effect), to a lesser the same or more of an extent.

    I am not pulling my opinion out of my butt... 30+ years in the collision repair industry. I wish you good luck. Ski
