    I had one simular and I took it to an automotive body shop & they fixed it for no cost. just a thought?
    They probably used a piece of equipment called an "English Wheel" which is used to hand fabricate or repair motor body panels through the process of "Wheeling". That would be ideal if you know a workshop suitably equipped and ready to help! Not so good if they would charge you though.
