Had to pull the forward headliner to see if I could get to the dent from the back side. Only minimal luck with that as the roof just above the windshield is double walled. I tried a stud welder and a slide hammer and this is where you realize the difference between the sheetmetal used in our trucks and newer cars. All the slide hammer would do was either pop the stud loose or break it off entirely. A port-a-power would not work because the roof was double walled. What I ended up doing was welding a bolt to the roof and using my cherry picker to pull it out. It worked really well. We were able to hammer out the rest of the roof and only ended up using a small amount of filler to smooth it out. Unfortunately I don't have many pics of that process but you can see from these pics the bolt that was used. I was kidding the wife (her truck) that we could name the burb "Spike" (see the pics).





Here is the filler applied and being smoothed out. The toughest part was smoothing out that small lip that runs along there.
