id ont' know how hard it would be to take off the ceiling inside the car and just push from the inside but that would probably be the cheapest way. i am guessing its only cardboard with material taped too it. i don't remember what my 02 wrx has for a ceiling but i will look and let you know. you might be able to just press right through the cardboard. either how the hell do you dent your roof? were you standing on top or the car waxing it? your supposed to buff lightly anyway.

I've never used it before, but how about that "Ding King" tool? I saw it at Wal-Mart and Kragen's for about $20.

Consult the service manuals, rig up a wiring harness for the steering wheel, dashboard, and front seats. Roll up the windows tight and close the dashboard ventilation duct. Carry the end of the wiring harness to the outside of the vehicle and shut the door. Brush the wires across the battery terminals to trigger all four air bags. Voilá - roof dent is repaired!

Seriously, though, check out Egan's how-to remove the headliner (Egan has a wagon, but most of the info applies to sedan, too) and see if you can access the dented portion from underneath. You might be able to gently push up from underneath and pop out that area. If not, don't force it. Take it to one of those dentless repair places and they should be able to fix it for you.
