Default Fiber Glass Dent

Right now I wish I had a metal car. I could just hammer the dent out and repair the surface of the metal. No, my car is made of fiber glass and the bumper has an inaccessible dent. So either I live with it or pay an arm and a leg. Is there some secret trick to fixing fiberglass dents I don't know about?

You have to buy an awe. Then you drill a hole in to the dent and insert the tool in to the dent. The tool is made so you can pop the dent out. Then you have panting repairs to make.

I didn't have an awe but I was able to do the same thing. Once you have the hole drilled it is just a matter of getting the leverage to pop it back out. But like coup said that is not the end of your problems. Just the beginning of a whole new problem. Like filling the hole you drilled.

I wanted to do a search to find out how much they cost and to see what they look like. But the word awe doesn't bring up any tools. Can anyone tell me how to search this or just get a picture and price for me?

That is because for Google you have to search the words, "Dent Pulling Tool". They want to market to a large audience and no one knew it was called an awe. Anyhow here is one kind, it costs around $30 dollars.
