i dont know but i would not recommend pops-a-dent, yeah it got the dents out but in return it wrinkeled the metal on my fender and door so they had to replaced and repainted for 2weeks.

dent dr.

There are companies that out there that specialize in these types of body repair. One in England called Dent Doctor (I believe there is a similar company out in the mid west). As long as there is no paint damage they can pop the dent out for you with out the need to repaint.

I used them a few times on my jetta and it was literally like the dent was never there.

Google it.
