Default Door Ding removal?

So i have an ever so slight door ding, more of a crease, on the passenger side of my Xk8. This is hardly noticeable unless you look via down the side of the vehicle., Never the less still noticeable. Figured id ping the group to see if anyone has a quick and easy way to pop this out. Thanks

I don't have any DIY advice but have seen some dent removal done by professional auto body shops that was amazing good and not too expensive. You might want to get a quote.

Pop the door card ,window up ,battery disconnected and if you can get to the back of the mark push it out with one of these . Gently with someone watching on the other side ..slowly increase the pressure.

It a roller for pushing down joints in walpaper. A wooden wheel might be better .

Found some new ways to do it .. you glue a tab onto the dent and pull on it .
Here is a video and then a $20 kit to do the job.


Watch the second half of the video then order the kit on ebay.

The kit arrived today and despite being $20 the whole thing was totally high quality and durable. The puller was machined from solid aluminium ..Very impressed.
