Inside the Doors
« on: February 12, 2008, 08:28:54 am »
I took some of you guys advice and use a 2x4 on the inside of the door to pop out a soft dent!

But, I was wondering what can I use to put inside of my doors to brace them some? I was thinking foam but it may get in the way of my window!

Does anyone have any ideas?

How about air ?!? Easy to install and will not interfere with anything :D

Alright - I'll go now. ;D

Why are you wanting to brace the doors and when, during the dent removal or after you are done?
The window assmebly takes up the majority of the space in the door, there is no way to brace the outside if that is what you are wanting to do.

Well the guy who is going to do my paint suggested that I replace the door, but before I spend any money I wanted to do what I could "for free" first!

I poped the dent out but I thought there was a way to brace the door to keep it form denting so easily.

only way i think it could be done is when u replace a door skin you could cut and shape a flat piece of steel to flow with the door and act like a spine....But thats way more truble then its worth...and i wouldnt want to even try it with the door skin on....that would be crazy...on another note....is ur door doing a tin can effect? ware u push on it and it pops in then pops out? or do u push on it and a giant dent forms? and doesnt pop back out

Truthfully, when I poped the dent out I was so glad with the resutls that I didn't want to touch again! I did rub it and it is pretty straight, so I don't know if it will do the tin can or not!!

I sure hope not!
