2012 Scion xD Front Bumper Cover - Dent Repair

[@bethburger9889]

Hey, went to harbour freight, bought a heat gun, and fixed the dent in the bumper of the Scion!!! I didn't have to take anything off because I could fit my hand in between. It's not absolutely perfect like yours, but the dent is gone!!! Thank you!😊

Glad it helped!!

I have watched several of these videos and I must say most flawless technique I've seen yet. the focus of heat on the highest crown and then finishing with the lower crown was awesome. Thank you for the video.

So satisfying to see that bumper pop out! Not too often you can save $700 with less than an hour's worth of work! Thanks for posting!

[@rob215x]

You're welcome!!

Sunday night my Scion XB was backed into. I watched your video and last night I was able to pop the dent back out using a heat gun. Thanks for posting your tutorial video!

[@rob215x]

Awesome!

[@dpatrickb13]

Thank you for this! Watched it and removed softball sized bumper dent just now. However, I used my wife's hair dryer(don't have heat gun). Where it doesn't get as hot it's less likely to bubble the paint, but requires an extra minute of heating. My bumper popped right out!

[@WhipTingz]

Did you have to apply pressure from the other side? What do you mean by "popped right out"?

[@dpatrickb13]

heated area for about 3 min w/hair dryer, while still applying warm air with left hand, I snuck my right hand up and inside the dent and gently pushed out from inside. The effected area then just popped back into original form. some smaller indents I had to hold in position while they cooled. Then I sprayed cool water from a bottle and it "set".Apart from some minor paint scratches, you cannot tell the impact happened.

Dan Barringer Glad it helped!!

[@OhhLivia33]

I stumbled upon this.... I was very impressed... now I know what to try in case I even end up with a huge dent. kudos

[@apatel7787]

Robert, thanks for video. Would this work with Scion tC also?

[@rob215x]

I'm not familiar with the Tc but I imagine it would if the outer bumper shell is made from the same material

[@jamesbatesjr7302]

Don't own a heat gun can I use blow dryer

[@rebeccadadd8211]

im looking to try this in my peugeot 206... any idea if this method would work on my model?

[@rob215x]

Rebecca Dadd I'm not sure. Is it plastic?

[@jamesbatesjr7302]

Love the video but do I have to take the tire off

[@rob215x]

It depends on the car. If you can fit your arm in there to press out the dent while you're heating it, then you don't have to take the wheel off.

[@mbburry4759]

could you be any lazier?

[@addymunoz2049]

What would you think would work for my 2008 Ford Mustang GT? I don't know what it's made of but I know It's not plastic. Some idiot hit the side of my car today, the dent isn't that bad but I notice it and it bothers me. I hear boiling water works but I'm not sure

[@oscy2000]

Thank you for this video. This recently happened with my car so now I know what to do.

[@ChrisSmith-il5qe]

Thanks for the video. Will be trying it on my Nissan Sentra today.

[@busaram]

THANKS!!!! I just fixed my bumper.

[@Muzeishen]

Great video

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Well I be dammed....I have fixed 5 or 6 of these for family and a couple of friends using a pry bar...always got the dents out (mostly) but always left cracks...I could kick myself for not thinking to use a heat gun....duh...I know now! Thks for a well put together video!

[@christ938]

The same thing just happened to my girl friends car. Great way to start the morning right? Thank you for posting the video.

[@darkknightforever267]

Good work but its un called for to take off the tire im a pro at this and i never took off a tire i just slip a bar from under the bumper or if its a big enough gap i can fit my whole hand from behind it easy as cake" nice work though"

[@rob215x]

I've never done one of these before. It just seemed easier to take the wheel off. I couldn't get my arm in there otherwise.

[@arctictruck10]

Nice job

[@djzyx]

remember plastic always holds a memory of the first mold

[@rustOfunk]

Yup. Plastic doesn't forget anything. Ever. No matter how many times you apologize.

[@djzyx]

lol silly

[@rustOfunk]

Well, what did you expect at the Smirnoff sponsored 1st annual worst Russian parallel parker competition? Nice job, BTW. Ima gonna try that with the dent in my skull from rock climbing. It was actually more like rock falling.

[@806luck003]

Great video thanks for sharing this.

[@ProspectiveProphet]

Turned out great !

[@chitasworld7391]

Amazing!

[@roderickconstantino5354]

Same here, on my pristine 2011 pearl white toyota avalon limited. I was so mad that I still have to pay out of pocket for someone elses overnight F up.

[@polarweis]

I had the same problem. Just filled it up with clay and than put some black duct-tape over it. Works great but when it rains my car cry brown tears

[@nnissa9855]

this is awesome!

[@jamesrodriguez5799]

not bad but u can still see the small dents all around the corner of that bumper doe but you could it still try to heat up a little bit more the bumper and try to work those low spots and highs so you could have an even superfice good video for beginners

[@NamNguyen-ir6er]

Great job you just spend 15$ for a heat gun coup hour to do the job done Thank nowadays youtube

[@mzbeanrickman1223]

[@oscar1987zp]
