Jim - It depends on exactly where the dings are relative to the fiberglass understructure, but the best way *may* be to cut small holes in the fiberglass to access the stainless, and then patch the fiberglass after the repair is complete. The technician from Dent Wizard told me that he had to do that sort of thing on occasion. The goal is to locate the access holes such that they can be repaired without being "obvious". If the dents are in an area with the carpeting glued to the underside of the hood, you can peel the carpet, cut the hole, repair the dent, and then simply glue a plug back into the hole. The carpet would then hide the patch. When the dent is located where a rib is, the same thing can be done, but then you'd want to do a little better patch job on the fiberglass. Bottomline would be to get some guidance from the technicians as far as what they think is practical. As far as your question is concerned - separating the stainless from the fiberglass ... I don't really know the answer to that. I have no experience with it. Perhaps somebody else on the List who has done that sort of thing can give us some input?
