Kinked Dents

[Coder24]

I have a 91 talon Tsi and I have a few kinked dents that I cannot get to. One was from a previous owner...didnt realise it was so bad... and the other is between the driver door and rear windows.... I got pissed lets just say that. Any idea on how to get these out or to fix them? Should I goto a proffesional? How would they do it? you cant get to them from the back side.

There are 2 methods that I know of:
1. Uses a suction cup and some type of adhesive. Basically, you stick the cup on the car with the adhesive and use this little rig they sell with the kit to pull the dent out.
2. If it's really bad, you can tack a peg onto the car (you'll have to grind down to bare metal to do this) then use a slide hammer. Not sure exactly how it's done, but that the basics.

Either way, you might have to bondo the fix to get it flat.

Without having it painted I don't know any way to get it completely out. Otherwise if you are painting it you can use spot putty, but before you can spot putty the surface would need to be sanded and prepped.

also, see if you can get to the dent from the inside of the car, even if you have to take any interior panels off to get to them. then you can tap them out from the inside carfully with a rounded object, but i can garuntee that it still wont make the dent un-noticable. it just makes doing thebody wrk much easier
