About 2 years ago my mom was driving the old 3G on the highway, and the hood came up (SOMEONE forgot to latch it [glances at step-dad]) And the roof has a crease and 2 fairly large dents (on the corners above the windsheild)

Will bondo work an this....? Can i get a new roof?

A new roof to me is like a new body. You could try and push the dents out. Good luck.

dent puller (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40993)
small dent puller (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=46900)

One of these should work pretty well. I have 2 of each and I love them.

if the dents are really shallow, i guess you could use bondo, just as long as the sheetmetal doesnt move easily, if it does itll crack, so if its a bigger dent try pulling out first and fiberglassing over it

Using the suction cups in the links im my other post you should be able to pull tehm most all the way out with out having to repaint.

you could do that, provided the roof metal isnt creased or stretched, give them suction cups a try.
