    Hey guys/gals. Came out to my truck from work last night and found these massive dents in the roof. I go so far out of my way to keep Bender safe from DBags around him but how in the hell to I protect from assholes ON him?? Anyways, I don't think it could have happened at work, being as it's in a low hanging garage, but how did I miss these?

    Holy shit. Why would someone just climb on your truck and start jumping on it? I mean, how else could that happen?

    Holy crap! what kind of area do you live in that people run over the top of your truck. You can try to pop them out slowly with a no drill puller. Amazon has them pretty cheap, you use a hot glue gun and sucky thing to slowly pull them out. As long as there are no cresses.

    Right!? There aren't any scratches, so it had to have been rubber. I will say there is a tiny dent on the right curved panel before the lip of the door.

    I don't think you're going to fix that. My buddy had some hail damage on his new ram and he had to have his roof reskinned.

    Edit: idk. Maybe a pdr guy could get it out.

    I live in the medical center in Houston. Decent area. I really just can't imagine I walked out yesterday before work and didn't notice them.

    Looks like it can be pushed out from the inside. Taking the headliner down isn't fun but not too hard.

    remove headliner and tap with a rubber mallet from the inside of your cab to push it back out
    Also, since it seems to mostly be flat surface (unless I am wrong?), pour boiling water on your roof and pull it with a toilet plunger (did some friends doors like that. Should work for a roof too)

    huh, that's odd. Park under a tree with heavy pinecones or something? Maybe some kids throwing a ball around and it hit the top of your truck a couple times? Hail, maybe?

    That sucks but hey, at least it's on the roof where no one is likely to ever see it (except you since you know it's there).

    Any marks on the roof? Looks like someone stepped on it.

    It's the headliner not glued in?
    And if you look closely they are on the ridges that run parallel from windshield to rear window. Im 90% sure it isn't creased though.

    This was a common occurrence in my HS parking lot... We all drove pos's though. Should be able to pop them out from the inside, wouldn't be 100%, but not as noticeable.

    Just can't believe someone would do this, when I had a Jeep I rarely had the top or doors on it and came back to it multiple times with random people sitting in it. People are stupid.

    Don't strike the dents to hard with the rubber mallet. You may just place one hand of yours over the other at the dent and push easy will pop up, but if any of the dents on a body crease it will still show. Be careful
