If the dent is so small that they CAN just "pop" it, then there should be no
problem with the repair. I'm in the midst of banging out a few nasty dents
on my Jeep now. It's quite amazing just how strong that sheet metal is. If
it isn't a real serious crunch I wouldn't be too concerned unless the Dakota
sheet metal is real thin. If it is a serious crunch tho....
