Roof Dent

A friend of mine just came by to see the car and leaned up on the roof to see the swirl marks I am removing. His elbow popped in the sheet metal and it wont pop back out!!!! I know if I can tap the metal from the inside it will pop back out. Has anyone removed their headliner, or have a way to get a small amount of access to it. A paintless dent guy could remove it I am sure but thought I would try this first.

I can't believe this happened!!!

You could try letting the warm weather do it's job. Maybe it'll pop back into place It's happened to me before but I could have been one of the lucky ones.

+1, I was thinking put a bag of ice on the dent, then blast it with some hot air or water. I've never done it, but it seems like it should work.

if you could find a suction cup smaller than the dent, that might do the trick?

there is an idea although you want to be careful. Realllllll careful. .


Honestly the effort to buy materials and with trial and error you maybe better off getting the paintless dent repair expert to look after it for you. That's just my opinion :P
