Dent puller?

Post by bigdaddyjosh »

Anyone here have experience with this? And if so do you have a recommended product? I was thinking about buying a slide hammer off Amazon and fixing this my self.Someone hit and ran me in the parking lot this past Saturday night. On my wedding night of all times! I was able to remove the hatch plastic and push most of the dent out but where the rest is I can't reach.

You will also need an electric weld stud gun.http://www.bodyshopzone.com/ar....html

Ive been seeing it done with these glue on plastic clips on youtube.Aparently you need a special slide hammer that attatches to the clips.Once you pull the dent out, you spray some kind of liquid on the glue and it breaks the adhesion.

I had a similar dent two years ago. It is difficult to be repaired using just puller, since the metal sheet is thick at the edge of the gate, and there is also a curve amid of the lift gate. It is also difficult to knock the dent out from the inside. Although there are several openings on the inside metal panel, they are not located at the edges. So it is hard to work out at the dented area. I suggest searching for local "Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)" services, and ask for a quote.
