If I may, try the stronger black rubber plunger!! :D And don't ever ever use Drano or Mr Plumber !!! :eek:
Joke aside, I had some door dents removed by a fellow XC's (volvoXC member snowXCrazy) and he didn't have to drill any hole. He used some kind of spacer that he put on top of the rolled down window and with special tools he worked easily down the door panel.
Rear Passenger door ding/dent repair
jo!
spent a couple of hours yesterday afternoon working on some dents/dings on the rear passenger doors and had pretty good success with two methods, dyi.
first, used a $4.95 suction device from autozone on a dent on the flat/lower part of the passenger side rear door. worked pretty well and it is hard to see the original damage unless you hold your mouth right, bend over, and the sun is in the right position. a small amount of turtle wax, lightly applied, remove the red paint from the offending a**hole's car that did the damage.
second, used one of the $20 glue/pop devices. used this on the vertically creased dings located right on the curved, top section of both rear passenger doors. had to apply the hot glue about ten times on each side, used graduated pressure (tighten the screw in increments and wait 30 seconds each increment), but eventually the passenger side door is almost invisible while the driver side rear door is still noticable but better. driver side rear was much deeper ding than passenger rear.
living in a remote, mountainous area of new mexico, paintless dent repair is not a readily available option. going to denver area over thanksgiving:
ANYONE GOT A RECOMMENDATION FOR PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR IN DENVER AREA????
i agree with one of the forum writers that noted he never owned a car that seemed to attract door dents/dings like the crosscountry.
