GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Not for the Vibe although I may use it on the Vibe down the road but for my Jeep compass.My compass is only a few months old and I already got a ding. I actually think I drove over a branch in the fall and it kicked up and hit the passanger door. I think this since the ding is horizontal and not verticle like normal door dings. At any rate someone mentioned a kit for door ding removals. I found it, used it and it works great! I paid $25 for the B100 kit and took minutes to use! From my local Harbor Feight store. Here is their link.http://www.harborfreight.com/c...94887The Jeep is leased and I am pretty sure I would not get charged for the ding but I hate looking at it. Plus the Jeep has no body side moldings, (thanks Jeep) so I may get more as time goes on. Here is the link to the site and you can buy all different kinds of different sizes for the size dent you have. Plus more glue sticks if you run out. Here is the link, check it out! Again, I got the B100 kit on the right of this page. http://www.dentout.net/kits.htmI am so excited about this I cannot get over it and especially since I detail cars every now and then for people and now I can charge to remove dings!

Here's how it is used... You first pick a glue depending on the outside temp, the red or yellow sticks. Heat it up and then pick one of the threaded rods based on the size of the ding. Apply the glue to the end of the rod and stick it right in the center of the ding. It drys quickly...Next, take the plastic rubber footed crossbar and slide it over the threaded rod, like a bridge. Then take the wing nut and thread it onto the rod. As you tighten the wing nut against the bridge it pulls the dent towards you. You crank it just slightly beyond where the metal is normally flat. To get the rod off the panel or to clean the rod, the kit includes a solution which smells like alcohol. That is it and it works! Very cool!

I always wondered if they worked or not. I don't suppose you took any before/after shots.

No I did not! I should have but was too excited to try it! My wife is a witness to the before and after though! My ding had a scratch too so I had to rub that out as much as I could.

hey todd...yeah i've seen those around! let us know how it works.also, i came across this. wonder if it works any better...i'm always up for a mcguyver fix...http://www.metacafe.com/watch/...uster/
