Dented my own FD :(
 

Hey guys, this is really stupid lol... I was leaning on my FD the other day and I dented it :( just above the rear wheel on top of the rear 1/4 panel. How can I get access to that area to pop it back out? Thanks guys.

Suction cup. They sell them at autozone, kragen, checker, shucks. Shuold be close but will never be perfect.

LOL.... sorry about what happen hahahah. I was watching some tv this oneday and they had these on TV Ads http://www.amazon.com/SIMONIZ-Pops-A-Dent/dp/B00020FTJA

Never tried them but you can check these out. :icon_tup:

Just to make you feel better
 

Best of luck with the fix. I can relate. A few years ago I was filling with gas at the pump and I was not paying attention and moved the wrong way. Then I heard a cracking noise and my fill cover broke off and fell to the pavement. lol. Stuff happens.

+1, hopefully it's not to big a dent.

Yeah, this sucks. I dropped a 2 X 4 onto my roof once, put a nice little crease in it.

It IS strange to attempt to kick your own ass.....

^ lol.

try the dry ice and heat gun trick and let us know if it works.

Nooo dont try that trick. Just pay to have a a professional paintless dent removal shop do it for you.

^ +1...

If it's not too big these guys can work wonders. Try www.dentwizard.com

Take off the panel where the emergency jack is, then drop out the antenna. Take it to a professional PDR guy and let them do their magic.

:lol: new quadruple bubble styling, eh?

I always feel like I'm going to dent my FD whenever I touch it. the metal just feels so thin, every time I slam the door or lean on one of the fenders, I feel like it's going to just fall in...

It's part of FD lore....Johnny Carson's band leader bought an FD when they first came out, but a short time later he brought it back to the dealer with several dents in the car from leaning on it. He said the car was too fragile for his taste. (If you ever saw the clothes this guy wore, you know taste wasn't something he had a lot of.)

Miatas are the same way. I rented an early series MX-5 once and while putting my hand on the rear deck and leaning on it to fold in the rear window I found I had left a big depression in the metal. And I wasn't leaning on it hard at all.
Mazda made the steel on these cars thin to hold down weight and increase performance.
