3 months ago I had some biatch leave her passenger door open and go in reverse, It rammed up against my car in mid door and I had dents and scratches all the way from the middle of driver-side door all the way to the rear bumper. Cracked tail light. Power antenna got ripped off. and a few scratchs on my glass. I got lucky though, I was actually walking out to my car when it happened. My friend just looked at me and said "holy **** someone just hit your car".... I thought they were joking until i walked up there. I was swearing up a storm for close to 30 mins until i got all of her information. Long story short, $1300 later (paid by her) my car was better than new, now with clear turn, clear sidemarkers, custom euro tails, and a custom power antenna.

try getting a couple of soft faced mallets...push down on that top ridge from the outside and gently hammer on the inside on the low parts...prob won't come all of the way out BUT its either slight dents or what you have now
