Believe it or not.
« on: August 30, 2016, 09:38:40 AM »

G'day there,
Today i found some dents in the tridion, and you know where ?.....above the driver side back door.....How the f*ck they got there i dont know but i think it was a tradie with things like  ladders or something like that on his roof,  no note or some apologie, no just drive off and think ''not my problem'',  it realy pissed me off and hope guys like that get there own back someday soon.
Have a nice day and Greetings,
Eddie.

Sorry to hear about the dents Eddie. I found one in front of the driver side front door whilst at the recent BBQ I was at, wasn't best pleased at all. I don't know how they got there either... probably was there when I bought it. :(

G'day Problemchild,
No its not high up on the trid, about 1 inch above the door rubber there is a fold in the trid where the rounding starts, and about 10mm above that is the first dent and about 10mm above that is the second and bigger dent, and i am still very angry and pissed off,...ok, sh*t happens.
Have a nice day.
Greetings,
Eddie.

Hi Eddie  , sorry to hear about the damage .....

A few years ado some dents mysteriously appeared on my car  , on the drivers side rear panel .....  I also couldn't figure out how they got there ( still can't ) but a friend of mine pointed out that they had a look like someone had " punched  " the car  ,  the more I looked at it the more that seemed like a possibility..... It seems to get harder and harder to keep things nice .

G'day Brulaw,
Thanx for your sympathy about the dents in my car.
Now ive got the problem of finding out how i can get the dents out, if at all possible, as i dont like dents.
They look like some hard object hit it a few times so i realy think it was a tradie that backed into it.
luckely it was just above the backdoor window or else that would  curtenly have been broken.
It also is the first dammage to my car in nearly  20000km and nearly 2 years, so i cant complain much i suppose.
Have a nice day, and Greetings,
Eddie.

Hi there! Sorry to hear about the dents! I empathise as it would really upset me too. I know that some folks say 'oh, it's only bits of metal and plastic' but...
Over hear in the UK we have mobile 'dent master' dent removal specialists who can do wonders at removing even the most impossible dents, without damaging the paint. e.g.  http://www.ukdentmaster.co.uk/
Try searching for similar where you are. Good luck.  ;)

G'day Brabs, and thanx for your sympathy. Yes lots of people think ''its only a piece of metal'' but in this case, its MY piece of metal, and i am sure they wont like it if it happens to them without knowing who did it.
Greetings,
Eddie.

G'day Problemchild,
I made little mistake, yes it is highup on the trid, about 25mm above the backdoor rubber on the outside of the backdoor is where the trid has a little folding where the rounding to the top starts, and 10 mm above that folding is the first dent and a bigger one about 10 mm above that.
Hope this makes it more clear.
Greetings,
Eddie.
