i had the same thing happen to me, i was soooo pissed off... i just popped it back out with my hands but i got little creases or waves on mine aswell, i think a panel beater should be able to easily fix it ...i'm taking mine to one of my mates that is a panel beater....u should do the same

Mad bro tel us how much it will be?? If even beta sms me the price? 0421395976

I was thinking puty it all up but the price would be sky high. Then i thought of making like paterns with thin mdf putty and respray but mdf will soak in moist and even thi its all paint coated itl stil attract moist and rust, so that one fel out of place.

So yeah tel us the price Smile

thnx

Howdy
What do you mean by using MDF putty? DO you mean on the roof itself???
I can see a few options-
- take it to a panel beaters and pay to have it done beaten and fared.
- get them to cut the roof off altogether and replace it with a straight one.
-or do the job yourself. Get the worst dint out yourself, get it as straight as you possibly can. Get a tin of bog for 20 bucks and spend the time to fare. Then carefully sand it back in stages until you have it straight, this may or ot be an option depending how dinted it is? This is probably the same thing a panel beater will do anyway, how compitant are you? I figure, if someone else can do it, i can teach myself to do it if i need to. Maybe your the same.
Just a few thoughts

YEah bog was an option but its just small dented all of the rof is like ocean wavy so i would need like 15 bog tins 2 do all of the roof from front 2 sides to back. Is cuting it out legal by any chance??

Coz i know its illegal to fix pillar rails as its a safety issue.

Fuk sakes this roof is pising me of, my car is due soon for a full respray and im stil thinking on how 2 fix d fukin roof.
