I have a 98 catera and on the passenger side fender there is a small dent, took it to the dealer and they wanted around $200 to fix it. Does anybody know how to fix it? Also I needed a link check strap (GM #90564478) for the front door, is anybody parting out a catera that I can buy this part?



Thanks.

There's a thread on the forum showing how to remove dents with dry ice. Do a search.

Pretty interesting video, thanks a lot. I'll give a try and see if it really works.

Since the day I found (and posted the link for paintless dent removal) I have been planning to do it... and since Halloween is just around the corner, my local supplier of dry ice has deals for... you guessed it Halloween... I figure, it's worthj a shot to try it, if it doesn't 'pull' the dent, at least my jack-o-lantern will be smoking cool this Halloween...
