hey guys!
Tonight I put a small perfectly round
dent in my front bumper. I'm freaking,
can it be pulled out by heat gun? I've
seen videos of dents being pulled out of
plastic bumpers that are much worse than
mine. Has anyone had luck with successfully
pulling dents? Thanks for any help or advice!
The dent was from a trailer hitch.
 
Which part of the bumper got dented?

You'll have to take the bumper off if you can't reach the dent with it on the car. Taking the bumper off is not difficult. The hardest part is to remove the two 10 mm nuts on the side that mount to the fender. The bolts may just broke off too due to the rust & age of the bolt.

 
If your gonna pop it out you better do it soon. Heat gun works great. Just dont get it too close to the paint, i like to heat it from the inside. If it stays in the dented position too long it will conform to that shape & once you pop it afterwards youll see the line. Ive done it before & if you get the line youll have yo sand & use some filler to smooth it out & paint it.
 
I'm suppose to be taking it to be repaired at the earliest Monday. Hope I'm not waiting too long
its gonna cost around 600 to pop the dent and smooth paint.
