Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just bought a used 996 ('99) and there is a very small ding in the sunroof and 2 on the passenger side, between the sunroof and windshield. Looks like it could have been hail damage. When I say small I mean only noticeable in a certain angle of light and only if you are actually looking for it. So the issue I am told by DentPro, is that sunroof electronics have to be removed along with multiple sheets of metal (car has to be protected in a roll over and thus needs extra metal) in order to pull these out. Therefore its near impossible. So they recommended taking it to a body shop, claiming damage, where they would repaint and bondo the dings. However, repainting means losing resale value. I guess my question is if anybody has had experience with this, whether DentPro has a valid recommendation, and whether its a good idea to repaint or not. Or I could just leave them there but being fairly ****, it bothers me to know they are there. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

I would get a second opinion because that sounds like bull to me.

POST 3Original post

POST 4Original post

You need to find a paintless dent repair place that uses the new 'pull from the outside' repair method. They either use a suction cup or temporarily glue a post on the paint (as Dave Barry would say, I am NOT making this up) and pull. No access from the back of the dent needed. See <a href="http://www.dingking.com" target="_blank">www.dingking.com</a> and look for "glue pullers". regards JonT

POST 5Original post

Has anyone ordered and used this thing? It sounds relatively easy, and a lot less expensive than dent removal service.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
