heat it up with a blow dryer , get a keyboard duster, turn it upside down, and freeze it after its heated, right after , and it should pop out

I remember seeing that video. Did anyone around here actually try it, and did it work?

you can take the door panel off and try and get like a 1 piece of wood in there first, and then pound the piece of wood with a hammer so that it'll only distribute your hit to the area that's the highest, which will obviously be the dent

It works dependant on the size,shape, and etc of the dent. Physics ftw.
