Dent Doctor..

$75-ish. a good shop will be honest about what to expect, and most dents can no longer seen after being massaged out.

A coworker had a small accident, a lady put a dent in the bed of his truck. He actually had dent doctor pop it out. I was amazed that I could hardy see there was ever a dent. I think the key there is that none of the metal was really creased, so it could be taken out.

Call your local "Dent Wizard." I've used them with my other vehicles and I've had great success. Good luck!

I've heard some things about using some sort of suction cup to take it out or even a plunger.

i have a pet racoon, and he makes sure no other racoons comes close. as far as getting the dent out, get a 2x2 and a rubber hammer. then strip your inner ceiling, and get 2 layers of rubber padding between the 2x2 and the inner ceiling, and slowly tap the 2x2. i had the same problem when my nephew got on my roof and thought it was okay to jump around , but that procedure fixed it...

plunger works sometimes...but only when its a really minor dent..usually the plunger doesnt do anything....
