good timing! I just dented the rear panel on mine. Not too badly but it bugs the heck out of me! On the way to Wal Mart now....gove it a try if it doesn't work I can always take it back...Sam doesn't mind.

If you don't find it at Wal-Mart, we have also seen them at auto part stores. BTW, the dent puller cost us a whopping $2.99!

found it at Pep boys. Never noticed them before... only saw the glue on dent puller ... anyway 3.49 and the dent is about 85% gone.
The only catch with this suction cup is that it needs a mostly flat area to work on..(duh) the smallest part of the dent was on a spot it could not pull up. Most of it is gone though and looks way better. It also partially pulled out a small ding that was on a seamed section of the hood...not all the way but it also is better. I heated that one with a hair dryer, and then pulled it. I also got behind it with a rubber handled large socket wrench breaker bar, used the rubber area with some leverage to push this hood dent out. Not 100% but closer.
The photo is the before. I will try to post the after , later on.

Hey, we're going to pick one up for those long camping trips when there is nothing else to do, but build up a nice warm fire and pull dents . Seriously, it looks to do a pretty darn good job and worth the $2-3 to smooth out the dips!! Thanks for the info.

I wish someone made a smaller version of the thing for smaller hard to attach to dents. It just might do the trick. considered the glue on model , but not sure about what it would do to the clear coat, although its supposed to be harmless.

It was in a field behind someone's house in Franklin, New Hampshire. We were staying at a campground just a few miles south and spotted it on our way back to the campsite one afternoon.
They work. I didn't experience any problems using the glue-on kind with the clear coat. Removed a shallow dent about the size of a man's head in one of the upper curved panels. Those are supposed to be the bad boys for dent removal. To replace the panel was estimated to cost $1,586. That is a pretty impressive savings.

but they should be pretty easy to fix.
