Fiberglass dented

Hi, I have devolved a dent in the top front of my 1999 shasta 26 travel trailer. It appeared all of the sudden. Looks like it was whacked by a football or something. I do not believe it to be from water damage. I have tried to pull it out with a suction cup but it just goes right back. Any info on how to repair this would be appreciated.

    Not seeing a picture...

    Taking a shot in the dark, however: I don't think such a panel can be "pulled out", like one might do with aluminum or even (possibly) straight fiberglass like that on boats/molded trailers.

    It's typically a sort of sandwich of plywood with a skin of fiberglass over the top, and as such it doesn't have what you might call "memory". You'll probably have to push it from the inside- and even then, if the wood is torn or wet it might not go back to the original shape.
