Parking, hood up, luggage rack loaded and in the dark I caught a railway sleeper, used to edge the carpark, with the bottom edge of the off side wing.

The following morning I realised that the edge was displaced and there was a very slight bulge at the top of the wheel arch.

Disaster...or?

With nothing to lose I thought how can I reverse the force that caused the damage. So, Mrs Aldermog pulled the wing back at the point of impact and I applied my knee firmly to the bulge and pushed as she pulled. Quite a lot of steady, controlled force was needed.

The bulge slowly disappeared and the bottom edge of the wing is now straight again. I now have a sore knee.

I was amazed and delighted.

I REALLY don't want to go through that experience again so I'm going to fit parking sensors, reversing hood up is a nightmare.
