dents in the car.

You might want to learn how to post: Subject should be something more
like "Door dent removal", then post your question in the body where
people can properly address it.

The best way to remove door dings is to catch them in the act then
insist on getting insurance information out of them.

Though given your posting habits, I would hazard to guess your parking
habits aren't much better and you're the source of other people's door
dings...

Paul, maybe you'd be better suited to policing another usenet group. This
group is fairly low volume. Chastising posters for not following what YOU
consider to be good netiquette is really not productive here.

Seems like you need your dings sucked out.

I didn't mind Eric's reply to Paul's post, but Paul was not at all
inappropriate or rude. He spoke of usenet conventions which the OP was more
rude in ignoring. Some may not like people like Paul flying the banner to
preserve the manner of usenet, but he at least stood for the traditions and
conventions that have served the masses as opposed to the whims of
individuals who simply chose to do as they please. Those are the people who
are more inappropriate in their actions and rude.

I have been around USEnet for well over a decade (and on BBSes before
that), I do not in any way need your 5 cent lecture, thank you.

Here's a quarter, why don't you call someone..

Well - I guess if you don't want to see the opinions of others in response
to yours, then you should keep your 5 cent opinions to yourself.

Keep your quarter - I don't need it.

It seems more important for others to argue about the format of your
question as opposed to answering it, I'll give you a tip that did work
for me on my 02 Sonata. It is a bit involved and you have to be
comfortable with taking the door panels off, at least if you want to
make it a DIY project. Pushing small dents and dings out from inside
the door panel will at least yield you decent results.

I've used everything from a small 2" hard-plastic touch-up paint
roller to a large "masher" marble to roll out the concavities.
Something with a fairly rigid but curved surface works well. You won't
be able to suck out small door dings using the old plunger technique
though. Door panels are "soft" metal so it's not too hard to push out
the dings but you have to be careful in the amount of force you use so
as to not make it convex. It takes a bit of patience and practice but
it can be done.

Depending on you model, you might ask Hyundaitech for tips on removing
the door panels or there might be info on hmaservice.com (requires
free registration). If this sounds a bit much, you could always go to
a couple of body shops and get quotes. It depends on what you're
willing to live with. If you don't mind walking, you could always be
the person who parks in the farthest corner of the lot where no one
else parks.

Argh! Sometimes it's not fun to read statements like this.

It can be, as you say, but I'd add to your cautions that a little at a time
is the way to go. Try rolling gently from the outside edges of the ding
(from inside the door), toward the center. It may seem intuitive to just
lay on the crown of the ding and try to flatten it out, but you will most
likely stretch the metal this way. Do yourself a favor and do some google
searches on Paintless Dent Removal. You will find enough sites with
information to give you better insight.

As well, let your fingers do the walking and try to find a Paintless Dent
Removal company in your area. Most dealers know these guys in their area,
because the use them themselves.

Ah yes, I did forget to mention to specifically roll "across" the dent
from inside the door. "Roll Out" is a bit nebulous. My wording could
have implied to just apply force and the peak / center of the
concavity which is in fact not the way to do it. Slow and easy, easy
and slow is the way to do it. Yes, it will stretch the metal or make
it convex if you just apply force to the center of the ding / dent.

Yup, that's another good choice and might be more competitive than
body shop rates.
