Dent in Roof? How to fix?
Did a couple searches came up with nada.
Say you have a dented roof, how do you fix it? Is it something you can buy, have to weld a new section, ?

Re: Dent in Roof? How to fix? (mjrage)
It depends on how dented it is. If its dented like a bowling ball hit it from a roof youll have to sand around it til you get to the metal and get a autobody gun and hope to pull it out with those needles.
If its little bit big but not to big you could go to autozone (or any local auto store place) and pick up this sucktion cup thing that they have and try to pop it out like that.
Now if its little dings here and there from daily driving usually wat they (autobody shops) do is get some bondo and fill it like that, then match paint it.
Hope that made sense, i just woke up and cant type worth ****.

becareful if you decide to err "bondo"? it,
sorry im a kiwi, i presume your talking about body filler here, hehe.. my bad..
but yea, back to topic, if you bondo it, if the autobody guys dont do a good job, once painted it will show the outline of the stuff under/through the paint...
had this from experience..

Hye mjrage, it's sleeper012
Decided to change my name on my brithday. Anyways...
If it's a dent you think can fix with your bare hands then go for it.
Get some dry-ice and a heat gun or a hairdryer works as well.
This only works for minor dings and dents.
First steal some lipstick.
Then in the center of the dent dap a little mark with the lipstick. - the lipstick is only so that you know where the center of the dent it, it plays no important role.
Now start circling around the dent where it starts creasing in (the outside of the dent) with dry ice.
Then start moving inwards towards the center of the dent where you put the 'lipstick dot'
After you put an even amoutn of coldness on the dent you can begin heatin the metal up so that it expands to it's normal position.
Once again start from the outside and move slowly inwards.
Try that.
