If you’re like most people, you probably don’t enjoy getting your hands dirty. But if you’re like most people who own a car, you also don’t enjoy seeing dents in your roof. Dents can be frustrating to deal with, but they’re also relatively easy to fix. Here are four tips on how to remove dents from a car roof:
- Use a hairdryer. If the dent is small and doesn’t protrude too much from the surface of the roof, using a hairdryer can help soften the plastic and remove it without damaging the underlying metal. Just be sure to use caution not to heat up the plastic too much or you could cause it to melt and bubble.
- Use boiling water and a plunger. If the dent is bigger or protrudes more than usual from the surface of the roof, boiling water and a plunger can help push it out from underneath. Again, be careful not to overheat or damage the plastic; just use enough force to dislodge the dent.
- Use a vacuum cleaner and bucket. If all else fails and the dent is stubbornly lodged in place, using a vacuum cleaner and bucket can help suck it out (though this method is usually only necessary if there’s extensive damage). Just be sure not to damage any underlying metal when removing the dent – use gentle suction instead of brute force!
- Call a professional! If none of these methods work or if there are multiple dents on one area of the roof, it’s time for professional help – preferably someone with experience removing dents from cars! ..
