Summary

This article introduces Glue Pull Repair (GPR) as a conventional panel straightening technique derived from paintless dent removal (PDR). It highlights that GPR preserves original coatings and backside corrosion protection, though it may be less effective on very small dents or those near multiple body lines.

What to do on the job

Utilize Glue Pull Repair (GPR) to pull panel dents without removing paint, E-coat, or backside corrosion protection, and develop a repair plan using appropriate pull tabs, lifting tools, and knockdown tools.

How to use it

Use this document to justify the use of GPR as a non-invasive repair method that preserves factory corrosion protection and E-coat, reducing the need for extensive refinishing and backside corrosion treatment on eligible panels.
