Do Car Suction Cups Work To Remove Dents?

We attempt to remove a small dent in our car with a suction cup dent puller which you can buy for $15-20 on Amazon. Hopefully this video can guide your decision on whether or not it is worth it to buy one of these little guys and see if can pull your dent out. Long story short: they don't seem to be very effective for dents that are located in corners of body frame parts! But it may be worth it to see if you can save yourself hundreds of dollars in actual repair costs at an auto body repair shop!

While your running for a towel...which you don't need, water will help the suction cup stick...the metal is cooling. 😕

[@georgebuhr4780]

All dents are different. Metal has memory to it, meaning it will want to go back to its original shape, but it takes some massaging in order to do so. This dent was too sharp to do with just a suction cup. Glue pulling would be a better option or using a PDR tool from behind so you can work the dent out by pulling in precise locations. Just pulling in the middle wont work because the sharpest part of the dent wasnt pulled. Until you get that out, the big part will always go back to that shape.

[@Dracstar]

Thank you for documenting and posting your experience despite it not working. It's still really helpful. When you said "Sacramento" I was kind of taken aback, because I just moved here literally a week ago for my summer internship, and I bought a used car with a small dent in it here as well to use for the summer. Kinda wild that the first video I clicked on is in the city, too. Maybe youtube's algorithm is location-based, lol. Cheers, all the best! Good luck with residency or whatever stage of your M.D. career you are in!

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you! And welcome to Sacramento haha. Yeah that's a pretty cool coincidence that KZbin served up this video to you in the algorithm, it really is so smart haha

[@niqquethomas4799]

Although it didn’t work for you, not to brag but watching your video taught me how I should try and get my dent out and IT WORKED! I have a x3 2021 I dented the door using my body to close it one day. (I only weigh 135, but I was mad this day) I got a pot of boiling water poured it all over the passenger door the big cup wouldn’t suction but the little ones however 😳🤯 I had to pull a lot even after the dent was out to get the little ones off lol ! I got mines from amazon for 16 bucks this saved me a lot !!!

[@ahnafrr]

Good video and appreciate the conclusion

[@MarcoLiftz]

You guys maybe should’ve used bigger ones with more suction but I’m an outsider looking in. I just bought a double one that’s about the size of the yellow one. Except there’s two attached to it. Gonna try to do it soon

[@user-ng8ft5kc9o]

Idc about the dent you two are literally adorable together

[@Captivateitmedia]

Too bad it didn’t work. Sorry to hear/see. :(. But great attempt. I’m in the same predicament now with a small dent around the wheel fender, and being on an odd angle, I too feel, it just might not work for myself either… :(

[@vphls]

It's harder to find a good body repair man than a good doctor

[@georgetene9562]

If you're ever in New Jersey call the Jersey Boys.

[@robertingersoll3039]

Open the bonnet/hood and use a rubber hammer to push the dent out from the inside. That's how I removed the huge dent on the left fender about the bumper.

[@katrinaja5622]

Thank you

[@eschuler6503]

For damage in that location you can run the boiling water over it like you did then push outward from the inside of the wheel well.

[@nickorsini2975]

My thoughts too. I would probably take that tire off, unfasten the wheel well and get in behind the damage with a steady heat gun blowing around (160-190 degrees F) on the outside and a take a rubber mallet to the dent from the backside. (soft love taps). Let the heat gun do the heavy lifting.

[@eschuler6503]

@@nickorsini2975 Depends on the car I guess. On mine (02 VW Passat) I'd probably be able to unscrew the bolts on the plastic portion of the wheel well which would allow access to that area of the bumper.

[@arunkumaracharya9641]

push is 100x easy and 100% results versus pull especially if it is deformed rather dent. That is why body shops charge fortune because they remove body and fix it. Gonna return mine after few try

[@mariacristinasomosot2885]

hi good day I am trying it also but not working in my car

[@terranxe7469]

I tried these things and they didnt work for me either. The dent was not even big. Waste of money

[@burnzz100]

Who said to use hot water? Directions say spray with winded keep wet.

[@LOISLANE99999]

i had a ding in my car. 2 dings. backed into a pole. they were not really big. i used this and worked it for an hour. use windex or water to help it stick. i would say i got a good 85% of it out. stopped because its now nite time i cant see. i think its very minimal and hardly noticable but its not exactly like new looking. but it does work and will continue to work on it tomorrow or this week when it is sunny! you have to do it multiple times so try it for 1/2 hour or more. you will notice an improvement.

[@LOISLANE99999]

i used the small 2 1/2" ones. the big ones would not stick to the area i had.

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you for the tips!! :)

[@JP-kg6wn]

Just a stage And good effort 👌

[@ryker4124]

Needs to be wet. Shouldn't have dried it.

[@itzTobi11]

3 days latèl

[@gopalakrishnantirunagari4734]

I have purchased on line for rs.899/-mere waste of money,it is not working I suggest plz.dont buy and waste money.

[@ashmisssion8550]

I’m mad for you more people aren’t like commenting or subscribing after THAT MANY VIEWS wth

[@RSWDev]

Oh how did this happen

[@ConanLiuMD]

What happened

[@ConanLiuMD]

Oh idk my mom parked it outside her house on the curb and one day it just had this dent -_-

[@eschuler6503]

01:20 🤣

[@lilsnoop101]

I would try use a heat gun

[@robloxunspacecommand1935]

Either works

[@petersingh486]

🎉It does not help with the wife saying run run run. You need the patience to understand the dent, even to love the dent, learn from the dent to be dent jedi.

[@ConanLiuMD]

😂 Love it!

[@georgetene9562]

Tgese suction cups do work i use tgem all tge time, unfortunately they dont work on all dents. Keeping tge suction cup wet is also key or using a heat gun would be better. I have been a body repair man for more tgan 25 years and the suction cup is a great tool for some dents.

[@Sarah-gh2oq]

If plungers don't work on wet surfaces then how in the hell do you plunge a toilet? I hope this guy was not a doctor because this was the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[@lockedinnn]

Such a modern woman.. See’s it working then “let me do it”

[@zorinapa]

You are wasting money on useless things...
