Crease in rear bumber

(1/1)

Deepjoy22:
Hi.

Looks like someone with a tow bar has reversed into my CX5 leaving a small crease in the rear bumper.  I've managed to push it out partially from the underside, but I can still notice it.

Anyone got any suggestions as to whether this is fixable so it's not visible, without replacing the complete bumper.

Thanks.

ROCKETRON:
Put a pic up so we can see how bad it is. I have heard that dents in plastic bumper can be heated and it pops out. If the paint isn’t broken or bumper cracked may work.

Anchorman:
The most common body shop repair now. They can be stitched and filled to look like new. 

Deepjoy22:
Thanks for replies.

I followed up on the heat comment.  Poured a kettle full of boiling water over it and with a simple push from behind it did pop out.  There is a very minor mark left that you can see when the sun shines on it.  But as the rear bumper is not usually so clean, I doubt even I will notice it in a few days.

ROCKETRON:
Good to hear that the heat worked :D
