Thanks for ur help guys.

If it does anything on that dent in particular... it will be very little.

it will do absolutly nothing on that dent... thats major body work... the thing on tv only works on large panels that can pop in and out, such as a trunk lid or roof of the car or hood or door panel... and it only works on minor dents. you will need some serious bondo and maybe some metal pulling and straightening... take it to the pros. even though its like 800-1200 bucks worth of repair, take it to them to be done right. thats what insurance is for.

unless the pic just makes it look bad, how about a closer pic? from a side angle too!

What the hell, did your bro kick your car or something?

I would also say stay away from the pop-a-dent product, unless you buy it from Wal-Mart and try it, if it doesnt work just return it.

Earlier this year I had a rental Chevy Impala (while waiting for the ins co to total my dead 2002). It's door got dinged pretty bad. The pop a dent worked great on that, but my gut feel from handling and using the thing once is that damage like that in your picture is waaaaay beyond pop a dent recoverability. Sorry. . .

You scraped the paint off, the bare metal rusts.. I would imagine thats a no brainer

im sure it voids the no rust warranty if you enable the rust by your own means...

i still say body shop!

is the "no rust" deal covered by toyota on all models, all years??? theres a small spot on the inside of my trunk lid that needs tending to... would be best if i didn't have to pay for it... i don't remember seeing anything on the gen 1 about rust coverage from toyota though.

myconid · 08-27-2003, 10:05 AM

I think your 1st gen may be past the 60months that the no-rust warenty covers, you should double check yourself though.

I got simmilar dent like yours on the same site but litle bit higher and little less in size.
I have used "pops-a-dent" from Pep Boys and it fixed my door amd almost fixed my fender. The only notisible thing is the adging line that my dent had. But it is that small so you have to know where and how to look in order to notice. It did a very good job for me. They say you should wait 5 mins an pull, but actually you should wait ate least 15 minutes and it works realy well.

yea that thing on the infomercial aint gonna do it for you, you need a REAL dent puller, man and then bondo that baby up
