What can I do about a dent in my new garage door?

We installed a new garage door, two weeks later I hit the door with my car after the dogs started barking. The dents aren't big but like to fix them before my husband gets the last laugh. Any ideas? Thanks!

Oh my! I would contact the company that installed them and have them look at them to see if the damage is repairable or you may need new sections then go from there...

a rubber mallet and a piece of wood to fit bigger than the dent. Then hit gently with the mallet till the dent is out.

  I second the rubber mallet trick - my male friends have bad depth perception. Always running into my garage door . . .

  Thanks for the great suggestion, trying it tomorrow. The garage door company wanted a fortune for the fix.

Grab a plunger, and go outside, and it will pop back into place. My husband did this with the car, and it popped back into place. Best wishes, J.
