Dent In My Roof- Help?

The other day my friend sat on my roof thinking it would be okay and when he got up it left a dent, does anyone know how I can fix this myself without having to go to a shop?

 

take headliner off, push from inside and see if it'll go back. If not....hit it with a hammer

 

Might be a dumb question, but how do I go about doing that?

 

Take a hammer, hit the roof from inside the cab.

 

i see what you did their lol

 

My fiance works as a claims specialist. She said if it were up to her to just call someone who does paintless dent removal. Most likely the roof is two sheets of metal so you probably can not push from the inside. That is really unfortunate best of luck on it.

 

big suction cup on the roof and pull it up

 

something like this works very well

like said above, remove headliner and pop back out...

ive done this may times

 

Kennesaw eh? I'll have to keep an eye out for your Tacoma, I'm in the Kennesaw area.

Actually had a roof-line dent from a flying tree limb during those bad storms that came through during the summer. Was dented right on the curve from roof to the rear door. The Cobb Toyota partner body shop behind the dealership fixed it up and had to pay a deductible around $250.

So if you can remove your headliner (I'll find the link to the tutorial on here) and try and pop it out like what has been suggested that will be your best/cheapest bet.

No. Actually the best thing would be that his " friend " should man up and pay to have the truck fixed properly. For gods sake it is a 2013.

 

Of course, but i'm not OP so I don't know how he deals with his friends.

 

Awesome there are several people in the Kennesaw area. The headliner would not be hard to remove but for $250. I would lean more to doing that. If the truck was older I would be all about doing it my self. I'll have to keep an eye out looking for y'all. I drive a 2013 dc mgm lb trd.

 

What is a good thread if it involves reading through what has already been posted?

 

hide it with newspaper





the friends blood i mean

 

What is OP?

 

Thank you for the info! But sadly I'm in Statesboro for school so I will have to wait until I get home to start fixing anything...

Remove headliner, leave hammer in garage, pound out dent using friend's head.

 

Thanks!
