myimportedbeast Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ok I did this at slow speed on a concrete post outside my house....the top of the dint ive pushed out, the bottom near the sill is accessible but when u pop it out it goes back in again...it made me cry when I did it ( Ok and here is after my repair attempt with the correct colour paint and several layers of wax.. U can make out the bottom dint but the top ones can be sorted... Very sad morning on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublet Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Might need to hammer the bottom out. Looks like a good fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myimportedbeast Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's hard to get to with the angle it's on but I was thinking of like a spreading tool with small pieces of wood like the tool used to push caliper pistons back? Thaaanx dub there is lots of access to the panel thankfully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 If the bottom part only pops back in when you take pressure away is there any way of wedging a bit of wood between panels to make it stay out? As a temporary fix. I dented a 38 grand new vw camper while out testing once, its probably still got the piece of wood i wedged in it before taking it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizona Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I was at snake pass, yes my test drive lasted two weeks - from Devon, through Lake District, Wales and up into the Western Highlands told boss new conversion needed testing properly bozo going the other direction hit it going round a hairpin bend and carried on driving, luckily no damage to paint other than the dent so whipped off the door panel that evening and popped it out but it kept popping back in, hence the piece of wood , worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lta Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Looks a like a decent repair so far mate, may be worth contacting a PDR fella if you can't get it to stay out after another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzy Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 As you put pressure on the dent gently tap down the crowns (in the reflection where it pinches together)to release the stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizona Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I parked up next to a small concrete post wall and went to drive off and turned the wheel too soon just not concentrating You wont do that again will you In my old ST i went to leave a friends house and was just coming out the drive, while changing a cd and not concentrating at all - or steering, just rolling forward and forgot it pulled slightly to the left, there was a scraping noise as my front wing graunched along her garden wall Edited May 9, 2013 by arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
