    Sometimes it helps to heat the metal when using the football method to pop out the dent. Great choice on the 320.

    Try hammering the back of the door, just to try, since you're probably going to change the door out anyways.
    You can try to heat up the metal around the little... whatever... attached with the glue to make the glue flow again.

    You must have replaced a few of those stars the way you did that.
    You have no idea how long I struggled with one on my car.
    I took it apart and then tried to screw the holder on the body of the star from underneath. It just won't work that way.
    I finally put it together and stuck it through the top, and twisted it tight like you did.
    E Voila! 😆
    I think a body man with his hammers can make the rest of those dents disappear.
    Can you switch that right front signal light with the other car?
    Give a kiss to Lola for me. 😆
