Default Can I fix this dimple?

That's basically all it is, an inconspicuous little dent parallel to the back seat. The paint on it isn't even scratched, it's barely noticeable until you walk up to it. Was there when I bought the car but I can't complain, it's things like that that made it affordable for me. In any case this being the newest car I've ever owned by several decades I've resolved to take care of those little things now so I don't have to in 20 years. Assuming I can reach it from behind will I be able to pop this out without making it worse? Any advice is welcome. Sorry I don't have a picture up yet, I'm at work, but I'll post one later.

Was kinda afraid of that. Right now I can't call it a proper dent, it's got JUST enough curvature to catch the light. If I start tapping at it god knows what I could do. Just not sure I what a body guy would charge, those guys don't come cheap around here.

Try doing a search for "Paintless Dent Repair". For 50 or 75 bucks these people can pop out dents that would cost a lot of money to fix otherwise, with very good results.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Paintless dent removal is your best bet. As long as the dent has no sharp edges to it. If it is a soft like dent most guys can get that out without ever being able to tell there was a problem there.
