I realized I asked this in the SRT section. But I'm pretty sure the fender is standard across the board.



Well, lately I only drive the car one day a week (Friday night car meets).

So tonight I go out to a meet and park. About 15 minutes later a friend of mine pulls up and parks next to me. I see him open his door half way (about to get out), then he reaches over to the passenger side seat...

Just then, a breeze blew through.

I saw his door in slow motion catch the wind and blow straight into my rear fender well.

Its much worse than the pictures show.

I have a buddy who does amazing paintless dent repair, although there is some paint damage, its not enough to warrant painting anything.

I'm just curious. What's the easiest way to access the inside of the fender. He'll have to have access to the back of the sheet metal to massage the dent out.

Taking the splash guard/inside fender well out? Can I access it through the trunk?
Thanks (and pray for my dent!)!!

 

the rear quarter is a sealed with a metal inner liner... even if you take out the hatch trim, most likely you won't be able to access the backside of the panel... i have been told the only way to access it is... to drill a small hole in the metal well area.

the best method imo... is to use a hot glue tip with a rivet puller tool (specialty paintless dent tool)... hope this helps!

I just got my dent pulled out. Was caused by a shopping cart
(Driver side over rear wheel 1 inch over lip)
The dent guy removed tailight and then removed the rubber
sound insullation they friggin do amazing work. Took 2 hours
and tada dent gone and no scratches or sign there was one
trust me im very picky when it comes to car finishes.

Hope this helps.

As a last ditch effort, they will drill a hole (hole saw) in your inner fender to gain access. When finished, they seal the hole to prevent rust and put in a sealed plug. I have seen them do this in door jams as well. When finished, the plug looks like it was there from when the car was built.

Good Luck,
James

 

Thanks guys.

Keep the suggestions coming.
