Not possible. The metal is bonded to plastic and edges are folded over the plastic. It's very flimsy and will be ruined if you try to take it off. I guess if you really wanted to try, pad the hell out of the surface and tap on the plastic underneath the dent(s)

Thanks, I found an after market one but they wanted $1,250 for it... not worth it...

Yep you can just touch it and it bends. As rex said Its bonded over a honeycomb plastic so it has voids in the plastic.an the netal is too thin. funny thing 90% of other caddys have the metal bonded to a solid piece of plastic and gets no damage.They make an aluminum milleded piece for a couple hundred on ebay to cover it.
