Bumper Skin Dent

Ok, PO put a dent in the rear skin. What is the best method for pulling the skin? Will a heat gun (supped up hair dryer) allow the dent to be pushed out?

Yes.

Try removing the bumper first so you have easier access to it.

Unfortunately all you can do is pop out the biggest part. The memory effect of the plastic will make the sharp bends stay there for good. Heating it from the backside is your best bet.
