How to Repair Dents on Door Crease Lines?
2 Answers
If the dent area is relatively large, it is recommended that the car owner go to a 4S shop for repairs to avoid causing secondary damage to the car. If the dent on the car surface is relatively small, hot water can be used for repair. Some car models use softer materials, and the dent can be automatically restored by directly pulling outward with an adsorption tool.
I just repaired the dent on the door's body line. This area is quite rigid, so it needs to be done slowly. First, check the depth of the dent. If it's shallow, you can use a hot glue gun with a suction cup to pull it out. However, the body line is part of the door panel's skeleton and tends to spring back, so don't pull too hard to avoid damaging the paint. For deeper dents, you'll need to remove the interior panel and carefully push it back using a pry bar. It's best to have two people working together to save effort. After finishing, check the flatness. If there are minor deformations, fill them with putty, sand them down, and repaint to prevent rust. I recommend finding a professional panel beater—they have specialized tools and materials and can usually fix it within an hour at a reasonable cost, around 100-300 RMB. When parking, avoid getting too close to other objects to prevent external impacts.
