I just went through something similar. I pulled the front tire off and leaned it against the driver door resting against the black trim. While working on the front end, I had to jack the truck up higher and adjust the jack stands. This caused the top of the tire to slide under the black trim. When finished , I tried lowering the jack to get the hub lower to install the tire. This caused.the tire to dig into the door and created a big dent. I used fishing line to remove the trim. The aluminum trim in the trim straighten out nice. Next I cleaned the old sealant from the door and the trim piece. Then I used a plumber plunger to pull the big dent out. I used 3M two sided tape on the trim piece and installed it. Cleaned everything up and it turned out good. You can see a slight line if you look down the side of the truck but not from any other angle. I had nothing to lose at this point. It might work for you. Sandy
If that is a sharp dent toward the front of the box you may need a hammer and dolly. There are a lot of know- it- all's on you tube that tell how to do this stuff, entertaining at any rate! Some know there stuff. Try "paintless dent remover"
The warmer, the metal is, the easier it will move, paintless dents guys, come to parking lot at work, and ask that you park dent side to sun, they have metal, and wood rollers, they use when possible.
Ok sounds like this be an April project at the earliest. When its hot, I will try a plunger then magnet. Failing that, I will try to pry it from inside and behind.
if you are talking about the crease between the body lines, a plunger or suction cup will not work for that. and do not pry behind it, you will only do more damage than what you have.
you are going to have to tap it out with a hammer on one side, and a dolly on the other.
once it is tapped out, you can reform the metal with the heat shrink method.
