Title: Dent in wing advice.
Post by: Raymienets on 21 January 2009, 22:33:41

Noticed a small ding on my drivers side wing looks as though it could be pushed out if I can get in behind it. When I had the wheel of yesterday I noticed some clips and screws holding plastic on around wheel arch. Is this easy to remove and would it let me get in behind the wing to knock the dent out.

the liner comes out fairly easy, held in by a few black buttons that need the middle pin pushing out & some 10mm plastic nuts, there is also a screw that holds it to the edge of the wing & one on the sideskirt bottom edge, you might find it easier with the wheel off though :y

There is a company called DentMaster in Swansea. They specialise in paint free repairs. Not sure whether they are nationwide. If not, there must be some thing similar in your area.

Get down to Asda and look for the £1 section they do a dent puller in there (along with other bits of rubbish)  i got one and it worked wonders

The first rule of Panelbeating is, work out which direction the damage came in at and then push (or pull) out accordingly.

Got one but dent is at the top of the wing on a rounded surface.
