expletive!

I can't believe this. She said she thought she did this, but then when I saw it (and blew a ******* gasket), she said she didn't think she did it. Well, the car hasn't gone anywhere, and she was telling me that she couldn't get the door open because it was frozen shut. Deductive reasoning tells me that... expletive!!!

Is there any hope? Any easy way to pop this back out? Does anyone have any experiance with this?

Thanks for listening, and thanks for the help.

 

i heard the suction cup method works pretty good

 

take the door panel off... the regulator and the window glass out... and try to knock out the dent with a rubber mallet

 

I really can't even see the dent but try one of those dent pullers that they have infomercials for on tv. They should sell them at your local auto parts store and they actually work. My friend ran into my garage and put a huge dent in his door. Went to autozone and bought the tool for $20 and it worked like a charm

 

Is that snow on the ground?

 

I would be wary of the suction cup. If you pull from the wrong spot it may leave a crease, however your pic it looks to be a pretty "clean" dent. Just be careful in either case. With a suction cup too you always run the risk of pulling the dent OUT further than the body. personally I'd go for getting it from the inside, unless you are confident you can get it. Be wary of the dent removal kits. some are good, some aren't.

or just take the door panel out, then roll up the window

lolz for disassembly

 

The edge of the 'dent' abutts the crease and the surface has a curve to it so the suction cup probably won't work. The adhesive type puller might work but your best bet is to remove the interior door panel and simply try pushing it out first. You can use a rubber mallet to push with and maybe give a light pounding with the mallet if that isn't adequate.

There's about 5 inches where I live. We got 3 or 4 inches two nights ago and the rest this morning. All you pussies with no snow

 

Personally, I would just take it to a paintless dent removal shop and have it taken care of by a professional, rather than risk making it worse by attempting the repair myself.

Yeah, creases are a bitch. I hammered something like this out of my fender (which is a lot easier to removed than the door pannel) and tapped it out with rubber mallet. Tap it out, mine came out looking perfect.

 

You shouldn't be. Real men drive to work at 5:30am in a blizzard going 50kph in between large semis It is kinda fun spinning the tires crazy-go-fast when the car is only barely moving though!

lol beat me to it.

 

i had a similar problem... trust me even if you take it take all of those shiet out and pop out from the inside... there are some parts that will still be cratered. it's not going to pop out like your wife's nipples. been there done that, i was careful in doing so too and i still had some dents here and there. take it to a pro let them do their thing, ask for a quote, if it's too expensive then just get a door off somebody here... btw post pics of your wife's hips for further analysis hahah jp hope you get it fixed

I drive to work at 4am over mountains and on the thruway. It takes me 45 minutes to get to work in normal weather.

 

Wow man chill out! Most dents can be fixed, this one is an easy one anyways.

Well okay then. You're a man too.

 

bah, just leave it. the wife will damage something else anyway. fixing it will only make you even more hot under the collar.

 

I am 100% sure the paintless dent people can pull that out. I have gotten much worse fixed. I have my Dent guys # on speed dial.

 

i had a dent jsut like that on my door when my tool box tipped over into it. i got the pops-a-dent from TV at autozone and it fixed it great.

 

looks like it would pop right out

yep. the sooner you fix it then the less noticable it will be.

just push from the inside and it'll come right out. if it doesnt stay out then you might wanna heat it up while holding it out (maybe hold it with a piece of wood). since theres snow just let the metal cool down on its own. it shouldnt have a dent at all.

also, dont let anyone lean on your car. i dont even lean on my own cars

 

yep get a paintless dent remover guy to come out and peep your **** out... shouldnt be that much... but it might put a lil dent in the pocket... better than having that dent on the car tho

 

easy dent to fix by yourself, just hit it out like everyone else is saying or take it to paintless dent removal for like 60-75 bucks they should be able to get it out. plus, im sure the wife probably feels bad and will make it up to you somehow...LoL
