Took out my Door Dent with a Plunger!!!

On the weekend I discovered a nice door dent right in the middle of the driver's rear door, I was soo pissed I only had the car for 2 weeks

I was over a friends house on Sat, his Brother-in Law details Rigs and Trucks for his Business he looked at the dent and said "ah just suck it out with a plunger" I started laughing and told him "how the hell it that supposed to take it out?" He said just try and if it didn't work he'd refer me to his dent guy.

Sun morn I go to the garage with my plunger (New not used) and proceed to stick it right where the dent is, one quick POP and ........"Son of a B**ch it worked!!" a professional dent specialist couldn't have done a better job.

I waxed the area to remove the surface scratch and you can't tell anything ever happened.

It wasn't big at all and it wasn't a sharp dent that's why the plunger trick worked. It also helped that the Doors on the 08' G are pretty flat.

wht abt this 1

Would the plunger be able to pull this 1 out..it extended into the crease of the rear fender. i contacted various PDR places and have been told anywhere from 100 to abt 225. and it seems it will require a small hole in the wheel well lining..

What you guys think...

I found a super tiny dent on the side of my car (I think someone who parked next to me opened their car a bit too much) I wonder if the plunger would work on it

But great job! That's so awesome lol
