    Broken Roof

    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
    small dent puller

    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

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