Door Dent Repair Question
 
Anyone know a site where I can buy a dent repair kit for doors? I have a small dent on the bottom of the door. Near the hinge :(

I don't know who hit my car... but people are really mean nowadays.

Anyways, if I can get a stick down the window and poke it till its better?

Just take the door panel off and go from there. Or suction cup puller. Depends on dent. Pics? Don't poke it, you'll end up making it worse.

Search some PDR guys on google. Let them do the job and don't ruin the car even more.

I had 2 passenger side small door dents. I bought one of those cheapo suction cup pullers from eBay. It worked on one of the dents but not on the other. Depends on the type of dent, if it's a crease type dent it will not work. For the price though it might be worth a try.
This is the small one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mini-Gla...item339f753653
From China, so expect about 3-4 weeks delivery.

I had two small dents and tried to do it myself with suction cups. Ended up doing more harm to the paint. I just called a professional and they drove to me and fixed it on the spot in 10 minutes! It was cool to watch and he got the dents right out! He charged me only 20$ due to me knowing him through family. I've heard it could be around 100$ for a small dent but it's worth it in my opinion.

A week later I got my car keyed which is a whole different story. People really get jealous over these cars:/

Step away from the car and drop that stick now. Get a professional.

i rolled a dent out of my fender one time, using a baseball from the inside out. the door skins are super thin, it shouldn't take too much work. make sure the paint is warm, if possible. it'll minimize the chance of cracking.

don't poke the dent, roll over it with a spherical object.

hey... or maybe post a pic so we don't give you bad advice?

There are two dents,
2 small one on top of each other as if something fell, like a bike or something.
How shall I fix this?

The size are roughly 1 inch each.

I don't want a professional to work on my car and I end up paying 500$...

I will try the suction cup puller. I won't poke it. I will heat the surface a little, just to get it warm with a hair dryer LOL.

I don't think its a crease dent. However, it is really close to being one. I think suction cup might make it better. Thanks for the links.

You are right, people get jealous and do harm, anyways I am not ready to pay 100$. My budget on it would be 50$ max if they fix the two dents. Literally a inch dent.

I know its thin, that's why I will try suction cup first. Thank you for the advice I will try that second.

Okay steps going to take.

1. Heat it with a blow dryer (hair dryer)
2. Use a suction cup
3. If does not work, poke it from the inside, I will slide something down the windows.
