I'm looking to buy a used 02 Civic SI hatch EP3, it has a couple of dents in the passenger side rear quarter panel. I think that the dents are removable with paintless dent repair. The car is several hours away from my location. The seller has sent me several pictures of the area with the dents. My question, "is there access to get to the dents with the interior panels removed?". I have owned a EG and EK, I have had the interior out of these cars there is easy access to get to the rear quarter panel to remove dents.
Anyone out there that owns a EP3, that has had the rear interior out to know if the rear quarter panel backside is accessible? Any interior pictures with interior removed that someone could post would be helpful.

 

Will be very close. It is right on a edge which is extremely difficult. But most the dents are larger so I would believe it could come out fairly easy.

 

Im a salesman at a car dealership and have seen stuff like this be worked out by PDR guys.

They dont remove the interior. They drill a small hole in the door jam then stick a rod or tool through and "massage" out the dent.

Spaz is correct about being on a seam is difficult, but I have seen it done by some of the master level (10 yrs+) guys.

Might stop by a car dealership and ask service if they can sent you up with their guy.

You are probably looking at $2-300 best case scenario, depends on the guy, but you dont want to necessarily go with the cheapest guy.....
