Roof Dent Repair - Toyota Yaris Forums

bairjo · 07-28-2011, 06:00 PM

Well I tried the hot air and cold air process using a hair dryer and canned air for keyboard cleaning. It didn't work...even video taped it. I managed to pull down fabric of the roof enough to expose the dents from the underside. I used a very sturdy slat of wood to try to work the dent out but the wood was wearing down on the edges. I plan to go purchase some steel round stalk about 1/4" in diam. or less and put a 90 degree bend on the end. I think this will work on pushing out the dents. If it does, just for sheets and giggles, i will post the video of pulling down the fabric and working the dents out.
If not, i can live with it....kinda.
