Pops A Dent? (Have you tried this?)
Got a new ding on my door. Kinda annoying if I see that. Especially if I know where it is at. Autobody shop can fix it for around eighty bucks. But....then...
Has anyone used this before? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tN7b8xuySQ How well does it work? Just wonder.

I bought the kit, but never got around to using it.
It should work on large surfaces...

Re: Pops A Dent? (Have you tried this?)
I've had success on shallow minor dents. On small deep dings and non-simetrical dents, it helps but does not totally eliminate them. Don't expect success the first try. I think it's worth the price but might work better if there were more shapes to apply the hot glue to.

I bought the kit to fix my Z's roof. Some A-hole decided one day to "WALK" on its rooftop and dented it ... you know what kinds of dents, the roof is somehow wavy now. I guess this kit should work at its best, what do you think?

Danny, don't laugh but, a drunk on a bicycle ran into the side of my Volvo while it was parked at my Serbian mechanic's shop. He came out with a toilet plunger and popped the big dent in the rear quarter right out, after chasing the drunk away. In other words, that's another tool for bigger non-creased dents.
