ive fixed harder dents then hail dents with body filler & it came out perfect,
beating the dents back out will only leave you with a dent you haft to push back in,so you can bondo it smooth,plus the hassel of taking the headliner out!

Please dont listen to this moron.
The proper way to do this is remove the headliner and use a shrinking body hammer on the inside and dolly on the outside, it will more than likely take two people. Bondo is to fix minor imperfections in surfaces and should never be used to more than 1/8" thick, if even that. After hammering them out you will still more than likely have to put a
skim coat of body filler on. I would only recomend a polyester catalized body filler (popular brand name available alot of places is Ultimate Bondo). After you remove all you can with hammer/dolly sand the outside with 40grit to the bare metl, apply the filer and let it cure, block sand the rough shape with 40 grit then finish by wetsanding (with a block) with 220 grit. Follow with high build primer lightly spray with flat black, then let completely cure and then wetsand (with a block) again with 220, this will revil any low spots. The low spots (if there is any) will remain black when you sand. These areas will require more attention. Most roofs you can only sand with very little pressure also as it warps in easy when pressure is applied to it.
