ahhhh, I got a good one for you. Just did this on a friend's car we painted (blackb18c on this board and I).

The roof is seam sealed to the supports, so when the roof is stepped on, etc, the support bends and brings the roof with it because it's sealed together.

We took a metal putty knife and lifted the roof away from the support, and the roof popped back into place.

This isn't a guaranteed fix, because I don't know exactly where ad how your dents got on your roof, but it's worth a try. Yu'll have to pull the headliner down though

You just kinda slice through the seam sealer

Try to push the dent's out with dry ice, or just by hand with nothing. ;}
