Default Dent in floor pan

I ran over a 6 in. diameter rock in my TT in the rain and fog. Could not avoid it. It put a very small dent below left foot rest area. I can possibly knock this back out and re-undercoat it. Does any one have a link to removing carpet etc. or is it pretty much self explanatory? My car is lowered and it also cracked both fender liners. All and all I`m lucky it wasn`t a bigger rock! Could have been a lot worse, Mike

oh! lol. nothing a little hammer and dolly can't fix. spot refinish. any competant auto body can't do. or just do yourself if your inclined to. should be an easy fix.

Yes, just take a flat head hammer for body work and tap it back down with someone holding a block of steel (dolly) under it. You can get it straight that way. Re-undercoat it with the 3M paintable version and you will be good.

The hammer and dolly you can get at most parts stores.


Be nice Oak. Can you imagine if your headers got dirty!! LOL
