Vitara three door dent was created by mickt
Some low life went down my lads street kicking peoples front doors and taking his drug induced rage out of the wheelie bins. One of these ended up hitting my lads Vitara just behind the passenger door, just below the window. It left a big dent and shattered the glass! We have ordered the glass from the local Suzuki dealer but realise now that the windows are glued in. The trim is also glued to the window I believe. So that will have to be done by the experts. I am more concerned about getting the dent out. Any ideas how the interior trim comes out. The maintenance disc I have does not explain how it comes off, just mentions to remove it to gain access to the glass! Helpful or not!!
Regards, mickt

Try a suction cup on the dent like the Garmin satnavs have. Stick it to the outside of the dent & pull, or pay a professional.

If it is a simple "popped in" type dent, as opposed to one with sharp edges, they sometimes come out by heating with a hot air gun and spraying with freezer spray (or "air duster spray"), check out "dent removal" on youtube.

The professionals sometimes glue a peg to the panel, slide hammer it out, and unglue the peg.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
