[DML] Re: Door Dings Due To Upgraded Window Motors

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

I had a bunch of little dents in my passenger door.  I fixed them by 
taking a hammer...I mean the HANDLE of a hammer, and then place it 
underneath the dent.  Then use leverage to massage the dent out, 
moving it back and forth underneath it.  After you've leveled it off 
as much as you can, get some 50 grit sandpaper or a flap wheel and 
go to town.  Once you get it to where you can't see the dent, move 
up to 120 grit, then 240, then get your 3M blending pad to finish 
the job.
The main strategy is patience, and hope :)
