Well I can't count the number of times I've told my kids to take their time and do things right rather then trying to take a "short cut" and possibly screw something up.

I really wish I would listen to myself talk.

About a week ago I sold the original wheels that came with my car. They were stored in the garage attic above my car. I was by myself and a newly aquired couch was temporarily blocking my car's exit.

I'm sure you all figured out where this is going.

I have accessed the attic space over my car a number of times before without incident (I tell the concerned wife I'm like a monkey climbing from a ladder through the partially open stairs - no worries). Well this time as I was moving the wheels closer to the opening, my fat *** must have hit a lug wrench that was stored too close to the opening and #@*^ my day was ruined.

My car didn't have a ding on it until my stupidity.

Although I'm hoping a PDR will be able to get out the evidence of my dim wit, I'm concerned there may not be access to the inside of the dime and nickle sized dents as they are between the sunroof and side rain gutter.

Any ideas (other then don't do that again)?

Thanks.

 

Having hacked the roof off of one of these cars before, I can tell you that it is a heavily reinforced for structural reasons. PDR may not be able to handle it.

 

My dad did something like that to his $7,000 freshly painted Camaro. I asked him "Why not just move the car?"

I learned, if I'm doing something that has potential to damage the car I move it out of harms way.

Sorry for the hard lesson.

 

My car has a ding along the drivers fender...floor jack handle and original paint (I was there when the previous owner did it). PDR got 60%+ of it..any more and the paint would have cracked.

Sorry man

 

My car was vandalized a few years ago and one of the fist sized/shaped dents (every panel was hit) is from some ******* (obviously) punching the roof. Still haven't gotten it fixed - too much $$

 

I have the exact same dent in the same place from the previous owner. Sounds like he did the same thing.

 

Really sorry ... I done my share of bone head moves
I was sent a video by my nephew a few months ago ... Don't laugh ...
I have no first hand knowledge and I never saw it done before ( but I did pay a guy 15 yrs ago 600.00 to take out 4 dings and dents I had in the car ... It was my first exposure to Paint-less dent repair ... The results were really amazing...
back to the video on you tube the guy uses Dry Ice over the affected area .
The difference is that area that is dented on your car may be way more stiff than a hood or fender Check out the video and see what you think .... Just search dry ice dent repair .. Or the option is to look up paint less dent repair ... The guy I used was from Dent Wizard
Just look at the bright side .. You didn't hurt or injure yourself
Best of luck

If I had hurt myself (minor injury of course) I would have healed by now.

this pain is lingering...



although the friendly support makes it a little better...

 

Skilled paintless dent repair can work wonders if they have access and area isn't too stiff.

 

Now that's what I call being a real role model; showing your kids what NOT to do. I'm sure they've learned their lesson now.

 

Yea...they don't see me cry too often so maybe they'll "remember what daddy did" next time they have a choice to make.
