hey all.

does anyone know to to take off the door panel on the rear passenger side? what does the door look like under the panel? And what tools would I need to pop out my dent from the inside? The door is also dented behind the plastic molding as well...I kinda get the sanding thing and painting. I just dont know how to get started. I know the panel is held in by clips. if I break em can I replace them?

Showing the instructions for the front door as the rear is the same, basically. DO NOT PULL OUT & BREAK THE "HOOK". ( I did :( )

Thanks so much! Now I have to figure out how to get to the dent on the opposite side of the hole. Just my luck.
 






How big of dent is it? have you looked at your local part store for one of those hotglue gun kits that you glue the piece in the middle of the dent, and then it has legs that spread out to outside of the dented area and you screw the nut down and it pulls the dent out?

I've used one once and it did wonders! I've also used a screw and a slide hammer before (was on a vehicle being repainted so putting a little whole in the skin was okay, because we welded it shut and then finished the body work).

Of coarse the other option is using the pin welder and slide hammer. Which works the best, but will ruin the paint...
 












i have tried it. the dents i have are too big....I wish I knew how to do body work. I would try if I had the right tools.
