Dent in the tailgate

When I bought my truck, it came with a couple of dents already installed, one of which on the tail gate, a couple inches from the top, on the right side. I was applying some Back to Black to the plastic around the cab's tail light, and sat on the tailgate cap while I swung my legs over to get out of the bed. While I was sitting, I heard two pops. I got down and looked at my tailgate, and the once prominent dent is now a little more than a ding!

Thougt I would share that, you might wanna try it, its free! (unless you fall off or someting, I guess)

The metal on the tailgate is really thin. You can take off the panel on inside and push the dent out with your hand.It snaps back and you are as good as new!
