Not exactly. Some dents when popped back out will cause the metal to stretch. This is often more of a problem on smaller dents, because they put it in more of a "bind".

Regardless, get us some better pics. All I can see is a reflection. It looks like there might be a small dent just under the base of the garage door. From what I can tell if that's it, it looks to maybe have stretched the metal initially.

Yeah, that what I said I agreed with. I thought earlier you were saying that the metal couldn't stretch after being popped out.
