Just punch it out from the inside. Should pop right back to normal.

Some people have used plungers to suck the dent out. But I don't know if that would work and I think the roof might be too weak to handle the pressure of a plunger.

Take it to a place like Dentbusters. They do what is called PDR or paintless dent repair. They say they mesage the dent from the back side. My guess it that it will cost about $125.

instead of compressed air, use dry ice ... bigger temp. differential, so better results

but its still hit or miss
