Here are the methods to restore a dented car side skirt: 2. The dented car skirt is relatively easy to handle. For plastic side skirts, you can try pouring hot water to let it bulge back on its own, or use some specialized tools to pull it out. For metal skirt dents, they can be pulled out using a dent puller. If pulling doesn't work, you can cut it off and weld on a new piece. 1. If the dent is severe and has started to rust, you can repair the rusted dented area by cutting and welding. Use a grinder to cut off the rusted dented part of the skirt, then cut a piece of sheet metal of similar size and weld it on. Smooth and level the weld points with a grinder, then repaint to complete the repair. 3. If the dented area of the car has started to rust, it is recommended to address it as soon as possible because rust is like a contagious disease for cars—it will continue to spread until the entire part is corroded. When a part rusts, the paint surface will bubble, wrinkle, or even peel off.
