How to Fix a Dented Car Tailgate?
1 Answers
Methods to fix a dented car tailgate: 1. Buy car stickers to cover the dent; 2. Purchase a suction bridge-type repair tool online—use a large suction cup for big dents and a small one for minor dents; 3. Drive the car to a nearby repair shop where mechanics will perform metal sheet repair based on the car's condition, though it usually takes 3 to 5 days before the car can be picked up; 4. If the tailgate is severely dented and cannot be repaired, it may need to be replaced. If there's an auto parts store nearby, you can buy a new one and then take it to a repair shop for installation; 5. Purchase a leveling pen and tap the dent to flatten it. This method is suitable for small dents. To prevent further damage, use a protective cover on the tailgate to avoid collisions with walls or other sharp objects that could cause additional dents.
