Repairing bumper casing
A small "ridge" can occur on the bumper casing in the event of a low-speed crash. It is possible to press this ridge out after the bumper casing has been
heated.
Heat the bumper casing with a heating pistol so that the damaged area becomes soft.
The bumper casing is sufficiently soft when small marks appear in the plastic when it is pressed lightly with a wooden putty knife or similar.
The appropriate distance between the heating pistol and the bumper casing is approximately 12 cm. This distance though can vary depending on the type
of heating pistol. Begin with a larger distance and then reduce it if required.
It can be difficult to heat up large areas. If this is the case, divide the work into sections.
