Hi,

I have been given a set of two dent removal plungers 12 and 5.5 cm for Christmas as I mentioned to someone the suggestion though I never got around to advising them which one I was really after but anyway whilst trying to remove the dent it seems tricky because the dent is on the curve line of the car as it can't grip the line. Can anyone advise if it's possible to remove the dent at all using these plungers or do you recommend a different device? Thanks in advance.

I’m all for DIY but phone your local PDR man before you make it worse. He’ll probably massage it out from behind. I think it’s easy to end up stretching the metal so it won’t pop back nicely.

I think he'd need to take a lot of interior out to do that.

You’d be surprised how little they need to remove!

^^^And this.

Be very surprised if you do much with those suckers.
Glue puller would do it but you'll be better getiing a PDR tech to do it.
