A freak gust of wind on an otherwise calm day and a metal cabinet door hits the side of the car!

My neighbour used DentDevils on his 10 C class Merc and was pleased. The dealer he bought his 14 E class from used the same company when said neighbour pointed out some marks.

I emailed Dent Devils a photo of the dent and they said they can’t do it. I’m suprised at that to be honest. I do have a number to someone who does rectification at JLR so I’ll see what he says. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

I do remember Ed China having a glue system for repairing dents.

I'd get some felt furniture pads, then place a piece of stiff wood either side on top of the felt pads and go gentle with a g clamp. |

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is generally done by using tools from behind to push out the dent. That is why something like that on the edge is probably not doable with PDR as the door skin folds around and stops you getting to the back of the panel edge.

This cannot be done with PDR because it’s on the edge where the metal is folded, it’s 3 layers thick there, it will need normal body repair to knock the dent out then fill and paint as the panel beating will damage the paint. |

kevinp has the right idea except I wouldnt use wood or any material cushion as it would absorb the metal

The door has a curve, clamping flat metal to it to ‘push’ the dent out will just add a flat to the door to panel beat out, also the back of the door there isn’t flat either.
