Hey guys,

I have a dent right in the middle part of the car to the right of the driver side door handle.

Its about 3" to the right of the door handle on that body panel (not the door, but the panel where the rear 1/4 is) I was wondering if i took off the interior piece (where hte rear speaker is) If i can get to it and push it out? My concern is i may not be able to get to that section because thats where the reinforced pillar may be???

Anyway, if someone has any pics could you please let me know??

 

- Seems solid when i tap that part

 

wont work, dont try it, you will make it alot worse then it already is. You will mess up the paint, and will deform the parts of the 1/4 panel that arnt dented.

 

^^

You are probably right, i'll just take it to a dent wizard shop and get it pulled out professionally.

i believe hes talking about the rear quarter not the door, just pop off the panel and take a look yourself its not that hard, just dont be in a rush as it will result in broken interior plastic. also depending on how bad the dent is you probably want to get it done professionaly, the metal actually stretches when its hit hard and when you pop it back out it will be bubbled the other way, if that makes sense

Thanks craig, but yeah, its actually on the rear quarter section, ALMOST the driver side door, but 3 inches to the right, (not the door)



Its too damn cold to do anything.. i want to repaint my oem rims, do this, do that,.. give it a nice wash, clean..

winter SUCKS!

 

nice x ray pix

 

this was the best pic I could find. The body panel is VERY thin on the sides. It's just a skin. You can remove the gold piece(just extra support for the thin panel) or slid up the lower hole along the door frame. There is a seam right up between those. If you are gentle & use a molding block, you can often pop it out fairly easily. SLOW & GENTLE!

 

If you need more pics, check the link in my sig. It should have all the pics of a stripped interior you could need.

 

Maybe someday ill just have seats in my R.. but for now I love the stockie goodness

 

Thanks guys!!!

Budman, just what i was looking for!

Question, that Bottom right pocket, is it enclosed, and does it /can it reach further up?? because the dent is kinda of level where the driverside handle is, on that part of the body.

Thanks guys, this forum rocks for ITR stuff, everything, and anything answered! :&gt;

 

You can pop it out or any PDR place can do it, just remove the interior trim panel they'll charge you less

 

You can reach all the way to the window, but there isn't too much room up there.
