Can we get a shot with a little of the side showing to see how bad it is.. not sure if your asking the section be grafted with new tube or "repaired" metal has memory, when stretched one way and pulled back it's now got a fatigue point that wants to return first.. I'd think any decent body ma could tweak it back for you, don't have an answer regaurding reinforcing it, I have similar in a varsity not sure how address.

Its bent in from the side not the top

Honestly unless it's actually dimpled if try straighten it clamp the drop and stay below he bend and above between some 2*4 u should be able use those as levers to bump it out

Only an issue if tube is caved in like mine... I will need cut to repair eventuality
