My back engine lid (67' Beetle) was recently hit by a soccer ball. It left a good size dent (about 6''x8''). I got one of those big suction cups from Pep Boys, but it was too weak. I was wondering if anyone has used the Ding King before, and if they were satisfied with it. They seem pretty cheap (about $20). Thanks, Gary.

I've heard the Ding King is crap. Local news station took it to some bodyshops to try. The end result - save your money.

If looks to good to be true, it probably is!! Especially when it comes to paint and body work!

yeah you could probably buy a new engine lid for a little more than 20 bucks

so i'm a sucker I bought that shit! it pulled the paint off my fender. They may work for cheap ass new cars, but the fenders on Volkswagens are suprisingly sturdy. save your money

since you can get to the back side on a deckild why can't you just knock it back out with your fist?

I tried it, but I think I'll take the lid off and try to push it out with a basketball or something. Thanks for all the replies.
