Default Dented tub... Grrr.

So I picked up a duster to cover the tub when I have the bikini on as I like the look of it. Anyway, I let it sit in the sun for an hour and went to install it but the fabric was tight and I had to work to get it on the first time.

Upon closer inspection, I see 4-5 small dents under the rails where I had to work the plastic into the grove. I didn't press that hard and my TJ never dented like that.

You can't really notice with the duster or a top on, but when there's nothing in the way of it, it's pretty noticeable.

:sad:

Wonder if I can get the pushed out?

I have a 2010 Unlimited Rubicon, purchased 3 months ago brand new. I have the bestop duster/tonneau cover and it has caused small dents along the rail where.

Anybody try the paintless dent repair to fix this?
