Keith if the metal is stretched which it sounds like it is you may need to shrink it back. If it's in the flat of the panel tap it back to as close as you can then take a torch and heat a spot the size of a quarter to red hot. Let it cool and it should pull it's self back to shape. It may take more than one spot just don't heat the same spot or get it to hot as to burn thru. Good luck it's worked for me several times.
