Default Visor Replacement

So I was driving down the high way yesterday and my visor ripped off my roof. i got lucky and it ended up in my bed and its not damages. the problem is that now my roof has a bunch of stripped out screw holes and a few holes are ovaled now. i was thinking about just puttin bondo over the holes and sprayin some black paint over it but the problem is that when the visor was originally screwed in, it dented the roof in 5 places above the windshield.

so my question is, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or is there anything else i can attach to my roof to hide the holes/dents. thanks

Lead. Bondo won't hold. The roof is a bit to flexible. Just fill the dents. A bit more complicated than bondo, but, a much better fix.

Bigger screws? Or remove the headliner and use nuts and bolts.

If you want to put it back on, get some toggle bolts.

Just looked at your pictures and that answered my question. But my other question still stands.

So I ended up reinstalling the visor, my dad suggested that i drill all the holes out so they were clean circles and then inserting nutserts. it worked perfectly and the visor feels very secure.
