Working on the tailgate now.
Can someone recommend a dent puller?

I can’t get at it from the inside due to the top frame in the way.
I’m hoping pulling it will fix the edges profile.

You could also cut the damaged piece out and either make a new bit or work the old bit on the bench then weld it back in.
