    I've been a mechanic for decades. I'd have said it needs a new cover from a yard, if it's a common color you might not have to paint it. I've learned to fix them with heat guns from pro videos but this was very enlightening. Two amateurs in about three minutes? You ladies are great, just going at it, right after it happened too. Thanks for a great video. I wish you were neighbors!

    Excellent..a lot better than the heat gun method as you know its not going to overdo it and melt the plastic...but pour the water on first slowly..then get under the car...just worked on mine a treat.. couldn not use the the sink plunger method to suck on over the dent ...but used a rubber coated hammer handle to push it out...thanks girls...its a really wet day here in the tropics in Australia..and thats one job i got done today..looks much better..thanks

    Just did this on my niece's car! Two chicks, boiling hot water & a pry bar. Thank you! Your video totally inspired us to give it a try before paying $300.00 to a dent removal guy! You are awesome ❤❤❤

    Awesome. Still VERY grateful that you taught me how to fix my wife's window regulator on our van. Now.... I wonder... how well will this work on the dent on the back of our lift gate on our red Town & Country? If I take the interior panel off and carefully disconnect all the wires and use hot water or a VERY careful use of the heat gun (and new body repair suction cups on the outside, with someone pulling the cups) will it work. Hmm??? There is a slight single crease which may not come out but I think the big dent ought to. Perhaps I should wait for the August Virginia heat to help me out. Anyway. Our kids have always been that helpful. I thank God for them every day. Happy and safe New Year to y'all.

      One time, many years ago, I had another dent in the rear left bumper. I went to the grocery store one day and left the rear end pointed toward the sun. By the time I came out, the dent was gone! So, it's possible. Although I think your method could work too. Perhaps the biggest key is to keep the heat consistent for long enough. Maybe try that first, without taking the whole back interior panel off, and see if the heat alone makes it work it's way out.

  • @epicsseven7686
    @epicsseven7686 2 месяца назад +11

    It was cool to see that it works. However. Unless your mother has a dent on herself. I'd highly recommend waiting after the water is poured on the bumper before you go under the car.

  • @maryjones1
    @maryjones1 2 года назад +5

    Great result! I was hoping you would go underneath a bit, and allow us to see. It stands to reason that a strong push should help push it back out. Thinking of using the boiled water was a nice touch. In the 80s, I had a car made of metal, so used the moistened toilet plunger treatment, which worked like a charm. I am not sure if this would work on plastic or not.

      I would have tried that if I couldn't push it from behind. Not sure I would have gotten a good seal on it though

But I always have a tendency to hit Curbs.....UGH! But I'm sure I can get under a vehicle like you did in this video 😂! So I definitely know if I ever do this I Pray to God I don't! But I will be playing the Part of climbing underneath 😆!! I had a friend while back people made fun of her being the only Female in her Class with nothing but all Guys there! When she went to School to become a Mechanic!! I said I wished I had learned I was a single Mother @ that time! My kids has kids now! But @ 1 Point I was always asking my Dad he knew how to work on vehicles he had his own Salvage then! Which played a big role on getting Parts to Fix!! I realized that after having Problems of running over Curbs jk 😂!! But he has Passed since (2021) a while after My Mother (2007)! But back then cars were completely different! I'm sure I don't have to tell everyone that by everyone finding out the hard way 😩! Everything were more Complexed but seemed like in a different way! Not being Computerized like it is today! Which not knowing the things there can be very difficult as well!! All I can say is Great job it proves Women can do it just as well as a Man!! & It shows its about learning!! Which any & everyone is capable of learning & getting the job done!! No matter who!!
