dents in my gas door...

I was getting a plant out of a tree today, and i looked at my car to see 2 small dents in the center of my gas door...Somebody please tell me what i can do to maybe pop them out myself, or get them popped out for a little money...

Paintless dent repair is about $50 a dent, but I'll bet you can replace the door for less. See if you can push 'em out yourself.

Plant in a tree?

i had the same kind of dents repaired on my gas flap!!!! i have nOOOOOOOO idea where they came from. i got'em fixed last year and now theyre back! i NEVER close the flap by pressing in the middle of it for fear of leaving smudge markets, etc. i always use the corner of it.

What kind of dents?

Are we talking dimples (like where the hinge would be attached) or other dents?

If where the hinge is attached, maybe high speed air is somehow causing a pushing out of the door at highway speeds, thus stressing the hinge points to 'hold onto' the door and causing indentations...

I had the same dents- middle of the gas door- on my old 626. That's weird.
