Default how can you get out the mirror ding from the front door swiming around?

It's just a dimple, one on both sides. I don't mind a little body ding here and there from the trail, but my drunk friend decided to put my doors on for me this weekend and didn't realize the wind would open then into the side panel. So I now have matching dings. Any quick easy dent removal tips for me or is this a live with it situation?

I hope there's a cheaper/easier solution, but if all else fails I saw someone on here posted that dent genie would remove them for around $100. I bought mine the dummy dents already there!!!

Cover it up with a metal plate. I got a ding in my tailgate. I am gonna rivet a plate over it to fix that. I hate dents too. Specially something i did.




I am thinking about using this on my tail gate. I am hoping it will be stronger than the tailgate metal was. I like the smooth look..

Find a dent genie. Not all have the same prices. My girlfriend got side swiped on the highway. State farm quoted $1700 to repair. Dent genie got out EVERY dent and scratch for $200.

This will not work man, sorry. I'm a body shop manager and I also do PDR work (like dent genie) on the side. The dimples you have are much too sharp for anything like this to work, and you'll likely make it worse. Just find a local PDR guy. Charge will be about 100 bucks.
