How to deal with a dent in the front bumper?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to deal with a dent in the front bumper: 1. When the front bumper is dented, you can use the principle of plastic softening when heated. Simply apply heat to the dented area to pop it out. 2. Once the dent is restored to its original shape, use cold water to cool it down, which helps with contraction and recovery. Additional information: Besides repairing the dent in the front bumper, it is also necessary to check the front car devices (such as the car camera and radar). If there are any abnormalities, they should be replaced promptly. Of course, for car owners who are not handy or do not want to bother with it, it is best to leave the repair to a 4S shop or a nearby auto repair shop.
I had a palm-sized dent on the front of my car not long ago. The advantage of plastic bumpers is their good flexibility—small dents can actually be fixed yourself. First, boil some water and slowly pour it over the dent to soften the plastic. Once it's warmed up, push from the inside, and it should pop back out. If you're unsure, you can buy a suction cup repair tool online for about 20 yuan—just stick it on the dent and pull. But remember to check the clips and radar sensors! Once, after fixing a dent, I realized the parking sensor wasn't working—turns out a clip had broken inside, and I had to replace the whole thing, costing me hundreds more. For major damage or paint scratches, don’t force it—leave it to professional body repair.
