I had a tree strike this weekend while wheelin (damn non insured trees). I heard you can use a football, or another inflatable ball to "pop" out the dented in passanger door. Does anybody else have any other fix so I could try it this weekend?

Get one of those suction dent pullers. They work surprisingly well.

plunger sometimes works. Just clean the poo off first.
Looks more than a tree "strike". Looks like the tree got some major revenge on you. I'd say a Rugby ball at the minimum. Door replacement IMO.

Yeah that tree saved me from siding down a hill, so I guess I should be gratful. I'll look around for a ball this weekend. thanks.

x2 for the suction dent puller, it worked pretty good for me once depending on the size of your "dent"

Used a plunger on my grandma's 92 Grand Marquis. Got all out but the crease.
Remove door panel, and use the palm of your hand to push it out.

don't wheel your clean sheet metal

I really never thought about getting damage, kinda stupid. My last K5 was a pure beater but it never got dented off roading. This one has spent 99% of it's life with me on the road not off. This is the second time it's ever been off road. But now I know what she can do and where she can't go. The place we wheeled at has tons of hills, and trails. The hit happened when I was backing down a major steep hill. Oh well live and learn.
