Default A little help needed, spare tire nut? Dent on the trunk door

OK,

Well I've been dealing with these problems for awhile.

Last school semester or maybe the one before that I had gotten a flat tire around the college campus, so I simply put the spare tire on and all, that's fine. Then after noticing I got home, my spare tire holder is just down and not up. I noticed that when my friend did it, he dropped it all the way and the nut fell out or w.e. So now, when I drive ( every day atleast, 5 days a week for delivering/going to and back from college... ) I hear the spare tire holder making noises, I've made it tighter so it's not as annoying but it gets loose fast and now I just want another to keep the spare tire there because it's sitting in my trunk....

Then I have a really nice dent in my trunk door from when I went bodyboarding in a blizzard (The recent one last winter in NY).......

I got stuck in a dirt parking lot that everyone was in....none the less I needed a big guy to pull me out. I signed papers so they aren't responsible if they mess up my car.... the guy has a huge snow plow in front of his truck so he tells me to slowly reverse or I can hit his plow. I figured this would be really easy and I'd tip him once he helped me. But no, I reverse slowly and never hear him shout "stop" or "slower!!" because all I hear next is a DINK and I get out and there's that nice dent with scratches on my trunk...

I've pulled off the back panel of the trunk to push the dent back to normal with a towel over a bat, but that isn't working. What other ways can I fix this dent myself?

Thanks.... if you need pics I'm sure I have some lying around from my phone's camera.......so it's not the best.
