Need Help!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so please bare with me. I recently backed into a Jeep in my 2002 GP GT 4 door. I hit the corner of their bumper wit the corner of mine and it left a huge dent. I know the bumper is plastic, and i can just push the dent out, but I can't get the leverage to do so wihtout taking the bumper off. I saw the the bumper is held on with a series of clips,screws, or bolt type thingies, and i wanted to know the easiest way to get these suckers of and if there any more conectors to worry about when taking it off. Beleiving in good car karma I of course left a note on the Jeep, and have no more $$$ to fix my own ride after getting their bumper fixed, but really want to get this dent out myself. Thanx all

This is gonna sound like I'm making fun of you, but I'm totally serious.
Try a wet toilet plunger. Get it to suction to the middle of the dent and try pulling it out that way. I'm not sure how deep your dent is, but this can work for some dents on doors and such.

Meena, they sell something "As seen on TV" wich is basically a plunger (in a funny looking setup) and glue. IT is exactly the same as what you are saying but cust you 20 bucks. Definetly if the dent is not deep this should work.

That dent repair kit does work. My poor car gets maintenance monthly!
But beware...Deep dents may take 5,6, or more pops to get them out.
Be patient. It is time consuming!
