I got these dings above the windscreen from when the bonnet flew open on the highway last year. Looks like shit, just wondering if DIY can sort it out or to leave it to a panel beater.

not having any experience what so ever in panel beating other than drilling holes in my car, and these are probably famous last words... but... "that doesnt look too hard to fix". =)
arent there rounded dollys you can use to knock stuff like that back into shape?

I'm not familiar with the inside of a hardtop zook but see if you can cork out the line and then use a hammer and dolly to dress it up.

You won't be able to get a hammer in there, you could get a hammer to the roof dints but not the ones new the windscreen
There a thin metal plate that runs a cross the front windscreen inside the cab

motorcycle tyre iron or a narrow brick boulster and a light hammer from the inside, it would be easier with two people so you can see where you are hitting.

might have to make a tool to get in there.
clearance is a problem.
perhaps steel flat bar bent to the shape of the roof .
drill two or three holes in the internal steel piece .
vertically. lined up with the dents from the inside .
insert flat bar and use a punch through the holes .

Weld a washer upright onto the dent. Pull out with pliers or whatever.
Cut off washer.
