Pushing dents?

[Owenpark04]

I have a dent in both doors from horses as the blazer was parked in a field ? They are in the dead middle of the door and I was wondering if i was to roll up the window and remove the door panel I would be able to push the irregular shaped dent out instead of pulling it?

thanks for any input,

You should be able to, I've find found that a good toilet plunger will pull door dents out as well.

So the bare metal of the outside is visible from the inside? I have a broken tab on the door panel and don’t want to break anymore on the process

Yep, just have to gut the door to get access.

If there isn't any creases in the body line just stick a plunger to it and pull, much easier

Yeah single wall skin. you may be able to stuff a ball in there and inflate it also.

Had amazing success with a plunger as well. Dent in the door for five plus years, finally had a plunger handy () and gave it a go with a few serious "plunges". To my amazement it popped right out, and only in the right light can you tell it was ever dented, which i believe is a tiny dimple where the lower inner support is welded in.

It sounds like there is no way it can work. With the right dent, in the right spot, it does. And good.

Might help to wet the plunger first?

I use a suction cup for handling glass. Harbor freight sells one that has pulled several dents for me over the years.

done this before with a basketball. deflate it, put it inside the door and inflate it.

Only one way to find out. Blazer door panels take 3 minutes to remove, a bunch of screws and then it's just hinged on top at the window. 2 minutes if you don't have the factory speaker option.
