Ding in my door

Tharreld · 08-17-2007, 02:44 PM

Some Jackhole opened thier door into the side of my door. Put a nice ding in my door. It didn't break the paint, but it put an indentation in my door. Where's the best place to get something like that fixed. Also, should i just wait for the year and take my yearly collection of dings and scraps in to get fixed at one time?

Try looking up "Paintless Dent Repair" in you local phone directory. If you have no luck there, call your dealers service manager and ask for a reputable paintless dent repair company. A goog paintless repair will result in a repair that, if you did not know it was there before, you would never know it there.

Good luck!

If you have Dent Wizard in your area, it's 99 dollars a ding.

OK, can you please explain to us how that works? I managed to dent my Ridge on the tailgate, just above the Ridgeline logo. I managed to get the paint from the offending vegetable cart buffed off with my Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar, and re-waxed the tailgate, but I'd love to get rid of the dent.

Besides, it just sounds cool ;-)

This works on fuel tank and other dents that don't involve a "crease" in the metal. Purchase a piece of dry ice (frozen c02) at your local liquor store. It should be larger than your dent. Using thick gloves or a towel to hold the ice, apply it to the dented area. Hold the ice in place until frost forms at least an inch beyond the dent all the way around. Remove the ice and place the tank or metal part in the Sun if possible. If the trick works you'll be able to watch the dent vanish before your eyes. This also works to remove many parking lot dents in car doors.

Hmmm, wonder if this would pop out the mysterious, spontaneously appearing wrinkle in the rear quarter panel?
