Well I got my first door ding today. I actually did it myself with my golf bag

It's on the flat part of the PS rear quarter panel... i don't see any paint damage, just a nice little ding. Has anyone ever had a ding fixed? What were the details? Thanks guys.

 

Go into your trunk pull the carpet out where the dent is and try to push it out with your thumb. It works wonders believe it or not!

 

i don't think it's that far back....i think it's gonna be like at the back seat

 

that is a good idea though...i'm gonna try

 

lots of places do " paintless dent repair " check your phone book or call local body shops.
maybe $50 per dent or so
they worked miracles on the two dents I had from when some punks shot my car with a paintball gun. no evidence at all of the dents after they fixed em.

 

thats good to hear...do you have any idea how they did it? cuz i'm afraid that it's gonna come back and it still be partially visible. Cuz I will paint the whole panel if no one can get it back to perfect shape

 

paintless dent repair is bs!

 

they will pull your interior apart and try to tap it out. I do body and frame work believe me it won't be right..... you will also spend a couple hundred.

 

that sucks

 

so is there a way to get it done right without redoing the whole panel?

 

if you were closer id do it for you.....if you want pull your panels out and see if you can get behind the dent/ding. You dont want to hit it hard cause you could warp the sheet metal if you pop it out to far. But if you can get to it with your hand you could push it out a little bit.

 

if you can take some pictures cause i had my interior out i will tell you if you should be able to get to it or not

 

thanks for your help...any other advice is also appreciated

 

it's like right where the back seat armrest is....i took the int. panel off, but there's a layer of metal between the outside panel and the int. panel. So...i can't get to it...any other advice

 

for one of mine ( was near rear seat area, ahead of rear wheel) they had to remove interior panels to gain access to the area.
they have bunch of special tools and stuff for actually pressing and working the metal back into shape.
other one was right under the driver side window on the door and that one they would have reached their tools in through beside the window glass etc.

Not sure why you call it " BS " SSinPhilly ... for the job they did on mine it was perfection and a reasonable price.
it was fast, flawless results (and I mean 100% flawless the dent spots look 100% brand new), and easily worth the $100 (total = $50 per dent) to get both dents fixed.

You say "they will pull your interior apart and try to tap it out. I do body and frame work believe me it won't be right..... you will also spend a couple hundred", yet you describe to do the exact same thing to fix it ... so .. you will do it right where everyone else on the planet wont ? sounds like it is 'simple' to do by your description so professional 'paintless dent repair' would logically do it just as well.

You can see pics of the dents in this old thread:

it is bs......lol what special tools did they use......you can make a dent 100% without body work! Dents warp sheet metal!

 

and you are suggesting to just tap it back into shape.. so thus by your own statements your own mentioned method will not repair it either huh.
you said " Go into your trunk pull the carpet out where the dent is and try to push it out with your thumb. It works wonders believe it or not! "
and now you say that the dent can not be repaired because it warps the sheet metal, yet you suggested to fix it by just pushing it back out...

you are contradicting yourself man.

and if you want to come inspect my car you WILL see it is 100% flawless perfection.

 

i will post an update tomorrow...i will go to a body shop in town and see what can be done

keep the advice comin

 

in fact SSinPhilly, here is the place that fixed mine http://www.impactdentrepair.com/
go ahead and call them and try to argue with them that it is bs

 

are you a ******* idiot......someone ban me if you will but i was stating my opinon and you keep saying my name in posts. Man STFU did I say anything toward you.

 

it was an idea he could ******* try before he spent money!

 

I appologize if you were offended by my posts.
I will apologize and discuss further in PM so as to not have any further arguing within the public thread.

Best we try to keep this thread for informative advice for sethallen

 

i apologize also maybe near your location the bodymen up their with pdr are more body work- dent removal inclined. Where im at they suck. Plain and simple.

 

at least you guys are keeping my thread bumped

 

My son put a good size dent in my door (size of a dime about 1/8 inch deep), I looked in the yellow pages and came across "the dent guy" paintless dent repair add. You can't tell the dent was ever there, $25.00 because I took off the door panel.
