Deep Dent in my 97 Silvy Z71

[Midwestrider]

So I tied down my dirtbike wrong and when it fell over the end of the handle bar landed on the corner of the top of the cab right above the rear window. OMFG I now have a dent in my truck. The only dent..... and it's huge...to me. I took it to a body shop to have it inspected and they said since it's so deep it would need to be spot welded which is bad...have to repaint roof... **** that.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can remove the trim on the interior and hammer the dent out from inside the truck?

pretty sure the cab wall in that area is double thickness so you can't access it from the back. The dent's not creased so it should come out with a paintless dent remover

Meh, trucks that do truck stuff get battle scars.

PDR should work there.

That's what my friend said, but I haven't given up yet. Going to keep trying body shops. I tied the handle bars of the bike to the very front tie down spots. Wasn't a good idea. The tie downs just buckled and the bike fell right over and boom!

I agree with the paintless dent repair. I had several goodish dents taken out of my truck when I bought it.

Looks like it's time to invest in a trailer for the bike :thumbup:
