lol............ I know. I was tempted.

I wouldnt mind but, even though it is a very small Dent, it is also very Sharp and probably wouldnt be able to be knocked out.

My Wife said she cant see it !! But I do, each and every time I walk round the side of the car

It might only be an inch or so long, but it is still an inch too much !!

My wifes Passat received a large dent on the n/s/f wing last week, parked for the day near the kids nursery on a very narrow road. She didn't seem too bothered, just said it was a shame as the car did look very nice before.
If it had been my 75, I would've been livid.
I suggested getting in dentmaster or whatever they're called, and she said she may get round to it sometime.
When we were loading a freezer into the back of my tourer on Saturday, she let it catch the paint on the rear bumper. Of course I had a go at her, and she thinks I'm being petty and it's only a little mark!
She just doesn't get it.

Dent Devils or Dent Master, if the paint is unbroken and the dent is not on a double skinned area then they will be able to work it out, usually well enough to not be noticed if not completely sorted.

It's almost invisible except in certain light. Do you think Dent Devils can sort it?

If you book them to see the job, the operative will tell you whether they can or cannot when on site. They do not charge unless they do the job and you are satisfied with the result.

My experience with two jobs by this company was totally satisfactory.

How do they get behind the dent - it's in a tricky spot.

NB. Paul at Finish Line said it would be better to use Dent Devils since he'd have to repaint the whole door and they wouldn't.

On my roof the headlining was removed, so I presume on the door the card would be removed. They do this all the time.

They have tools that get down inside the door Lining against the glass, without taking it off when they took out a dent on my door.
I was quite surprised what they could do to be honest.

In all seriousness....... the headlights on, to get you to the front door, delay, was a nice surprise just last week.

Anyone know how to get this to work? I tried the way it said in the manual, but no luck.

Also, is there a list of the options that could be changed with the T4?

I think that IS one of the T4 options. Mine isn't activated either.
