Roof Dent Repair in Lahore

Roof dents are repaired with paintless dent repair by lowering the headliner to reach the underside of the roof skin and pushing the dent up under a PDR light. Roof metal is thin and moves easily, so most roof dents — from fallen branches, mangoes, hail, footballs or someone sitting on the roof — repair cleanly without repainting.

What is roof dent repair?

The roof is the largest, flattest and most reflective panel on a vehicle, so even a shallow dent is obvious from a distance. Repainting a roof is expensive and, on many cars, means blending into the pillars. PDR avoids all of that.

Access is gained by dropping the rear or front edge of the headliner, removing a sun-visor or grab-handle, or going through the sunroof cassette gap. Roof bows (the cross braces under the skin) are the main obstacle; dents right on a bow are pushed around it or glue-pulled from the top.

Dents suitable for this service

• Dents from fallen branches, fruit and small objects
• Hail damage on the roof
• Soft pressure dents from loading, sitting or leaning
• Dents near the roof edges with access through the door apertures

When PDR may not be suitable

• Dents with chipped paint from a sharp impact
• Dents on the roof rail seams or drip rails
• Collapsed roof sections from heavy loads that have stretched the metal

Benefits

• No repainting of the most visible panel
• Headliner is lowered, not replaced
• Same-day repair for most single roof dents
• Original paint means no colour mismatch with the pillars

How MR Dry Denter assesses the damage

Photograph the roof from a step or a higher position so the reflection of the sky or a straight edge crosses the dent. Tell us if the car has a sunroof or roof rails, as these change the access plan. Most roof dents can be quoted from good photos.

Repair process

• Photo assessment
• Headliner edge lowered or sunroof access opened
• Dent centred under the light; bows located
• Metal pushed up in light passes — roof skin is thin and responds quickly
• High spots tapped down, reflection checked
• Headliner and trims refitted, interior cleaned

How long does it take?

A single roof dent typically takes 1 to 2 hours including headliner work. Dents directly on a roof bow or near the sunroof frame take longer.
