Stainless Steel Front Protector Bent

I have a 2014 Flying Cloud and I accidently dented in the protective panel (one on the hinges) that protects the front right corner of the trailer. Is there anyone out there that reconditions these or bends them back in. I went on line and got a quote for about $800 to replace this. What would be the most economical way to fix this boo boo. I dented it mowing my yard too close to the trailer.

Find someone with an ‘English Wheel” and knows how to use it. Proper use may reduce the ding.

Or just take it off, beat it out gently over a sandbag with a soft rubber mallet. Or just live with the boo boo.

It’s not gonna be perfect without replacing it, then it may get dinged again. It’s a sacrificial part on a good day.
