Just this last weekend my brother,i am not sure what he was thinking, but he was running toward my car and decided to jump on it. Which left a nice dent in my front right fender. So i was wondering is there a tool i could go buy at a Checker Auto Parts store or something. I want to try and fix it myself because i can't afford to have it professionally done or file a insurance claim because i just got my rates down to $75 a month and i don't want them going back up.

Thanks

 

suction cups, depending on how bad your dent is or a dent puller at checkers for about 15 bucks, but that includes punching a hole in your car...... ehhh they never really work. Once a cart hit my car in a parking lot.......long story short door had dent, we sanded, bondo'd the door and repainted with sparypaint, it didnt look too bad, i owned a 96 black SE then........so you have several options on how to go about it, it maybe tougher to bondo a fender if its on the curve.........

 

yeah suction thing sounds like a plan, try it n let us kno

 

I ran across this once on a local maxima forum. I don't know if it works but you can watch this video and give it a try.

It's on the fender? Don't waste your time, remove the fender and tap it out from the other side.

 

yea and those cheapo suction cup pieces dont work for ****. just tap it out or replace the fender, IMO.

 

co-sign, they are crap. I can't remember the name of the national chain, but they do paintless dent removal, and it wasn't that expensive.

 

Tried that on a friend's Supra, didn't do a thing.

 

How hard is it to remove the fender?

 

that was actually pretty amazing,sum1 said it didnt work though.

 

Yea i never tried it but thought it might work. Too bad it doesnt, if it did that would be a great cheap fix for dents.

 

It's not that bad, just take the corner and headlight out, then remove all the 10mm bolts/screws, there is two that connect the fender to the front bumper along with a plastic clip, the three in the engine bay, than there is two way at the bottom below the door, and two inside the door frame, you have to open the door to get those ones, and the bottom one you can only do with a wrench, if you have a gear wrench it takes 2 seconds, but if not it takes like 3 or 4 minutes for that one bolt. Also, you should be able to pull the fender far enough away with the fender-liner in place, but be prepared to remove that as well. It's really not hard at all.

 

take off the fender and take a rubberr mallet and bang it to normal.

 

ok i guess i will do it this weekend when i dont have to go to work.

 

Try the ding king. I hear it works wonders.

 

You might be able to get most of the dent out by peeling the liner out the way and working without taking the fender off.Do you have a picture of the damage?

 

fanaticrockford = dent remover

 

I had a dent on my fender and I just used a regular home plunger. It worked gr8! Once u pop it out just slide it along the car til it frees the grib so u don't mess anything up!
