How do I pop out a dent on a trunk? I have a small dent on my trunk and I don’t know how to remove it.

No one likes dealing with dents on their vehicle. But thankfully, you can fix the minor dent yourself and skip a visit to the body shop.
To get a
dent out of a car
trunk, follow these steps:
  • Step one: Heat the dent with a heat gun. If you do not have a heat gun, use a blowdryer. You may need to use extension cords to get the blowdryer close enough to the vehicle.
  • Step two: Make sure the surface of the dent feels warm to the touch before proceeding. Flip a can of compressed air upside down, and shake it before spraying it over the dent.
  • Step three: If that doesn’t work, use a suction dent puller, such as a Bondo tool, to help pop the dent out.
The surface of your trunk should be restored!
Fixing that dent was a piece of cake, just like finding affordable car insurance on the
