Dimples in roof - UPDATE 140-160

I got the suction cup from Harbor Freight and tried first with a regular hair dryer. Pulled until my face turned red, but could see much measurable difference. Next I tried with a heat gun and warmed up the roof enough to melt the paint. Tried again with the suction cup and this time I could literally feel the roof coming up (with much less force too). As it cooled down, it seems like it shrunk a little bit back to the old shape, but I've definitely reduced the trough. I still need some filler up there, but am pretty happy with the result, especially since I didn't have to remove the headliner.
