Default Hard to removie dent

i got a dent on my passenger side right next to the door. problem is that its on the "fold line" located above the handle. i tried popping it but no luck. tried heating it and rapid cool. its more of a pinch really.

i was thinking of removing the rear speakers and popping it from the inside. any help with that? kind of hard to remove the insides.

+1 I work at a local grocery store and spent over a grand fixing all my dings and just got a cart hit my car a few months ago on the same spot but on the driver side. Would love to pop that ding out.

1. Try a suction cup if its large enough, a strong one from harbor freight or a body shop supplier

2. If that doesn't work try a paintless dent removal expert, they can repair the weirdest dings and dents or at least minimize them to the point where they arent as annoying, usually for less than $150....and much much cheaper than a body shop

Show us some pics!

i tired the suction cup a few times. big and small versions but the sharp edge makes it impossible to pop.

yeah i doubt youll be able to pop that one out yourself..try a plastic hammer, and plastic block on the other side..Ive seen how the paintless dent removal guys do it. Just make sure that you hit it softly and patience is key!
