lol quarter panel?? not easily removed

The quarter panel is spot welded to the car. The welds have to be drilled/grinded out and then the panel can be removed and a new panel can be welded on.

only reason I'm asking is because I have a dent right above the rear door window and need to some how get behind that part of the panel to get the dent out

you can't you have to get it pulled... or filled (if you're cheap)

you can get behind it, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have done body work before. If the dent is minor, I would find a qualified paintless dent repair person and have them do the work. For roughly $100 it should be near perfect again, but this only works for minor dents, otherwise its bondo and repaint time. You only replace the quarter panel if repair time costs more then a new panel.
