  • Any ideas on how i can knock out this dent?

    My Festiva has a sizable dent on the drivers side, right in front of the rear tire.

    Any ideas on how i can get it out myself?

    here's a pic...

    I have taken some pretty big dents out by placing a deflated basketball behind the dent and SLOWLY inflating the ball. You may have to deflate it and move it around a couple of times but it does work. Sometimes it helps to have someone pulling from the outside with a plunger at the same time. Good luck!

      thanks for the advice! I bought a little dent puller, but im having trouble finding a flat spot to suction on to. Especially with that trim in the way.

        You'll probably have to take some interior panels out and do it from behind. As nice as your car is, I would swing by a paintless dent repair place and get an estimate.

          You know BrannMuffinz, your car sure looks alot like mine. The color is pretty close. Of course it is a little different, mine is now a convertible.
