got a 'reversed' dent in my trunk lid - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dave McFly · 08-16-2010, 07:33 PM

as the thread stated, i have a reverse dent in my trunk, I had my carry on bag in my trunk and i lifted it up right to look for something in the trunk and when i closed it the handle (it was retracted at the time) pushed out a small dent about 2-3" long about a 1' wide and it sticks up about a half an inch to 3/4" up

, is there a way to fix it without taking it to the body shop? I tried pressing down on it but no luck, any advice would be most helpful, it is too dark out to take a pic but i think my description is perfect enough as it is.

A hammer and a nylon knock down tool.

The nylon knock down even comes with "pops a dent" at walmart.

I would think a paintless dent removal guy [a good one] could knock it back down...?

alas, I have none in my area, closet one is Buffalo about a little over an hour away. I may have my body guy do it for me, as I am missing part of the Monte Carlo script on my trunk lid it says "Monte Ca...". So when he goes to have the old one removed I will see if he can knock it down the same time, he is a good friend and is only gonna charge me for the "Monte Carlo" script
