I got a dent in my bumper. It looks like the plastic has "popped" inwards:
***UPDATE: it popped back out fine (see later post) ***
I tried whacking the back of that dent with a nylon mallet, but it didn't pop-out. I don't want to whack too hard, because it was 10F outside this morning. Temps should reach freezing tomorrow, so maybe I will have better luck.
Anybody else have to do this? Maybe it would help to take it to a friend's heated garage, or heat it gently with a hair dryer or heat gun (I use a heat gun on skis a lot, so... yes, very gentle).
