Re: Center tail gate trim

While we are on the topic, how do you go about repairing dents made from tightening these down with screws that were too big? I picked a thin band GMC one a few months ago and my dad and I don't know how to go about fixing those. It's a brushed aluminum finish. We don't want to sand it and end up with holes or messing up the finish with a hammer..

There was a link that I posted back on Post #2. They showed how they repaired theirs.

Just over the last few days, I've been watching youtube videos on how dents are taken out of aluminum & stainless parts. And then the polishing process.
