Dent in rear passenger quarter panel :(

Jo Towers · 06-04-2007, 10:48 PM

Well i was just wondering if anybody knows how to get behind the rear passenger quarter panel, so i can maybe try and pop out a dent.

pull the interior panel off and see if you can get to it!!

Jo Towers · 06-04-2007, 10:59 PM

Cool, thanks I'll try that.
does it pop right off or are there tabs or screws i have to mess with?

dentpro.com does a good job, not bad pricing either.

PDR is not something anyone can just start doing without any practice.

you have to use the right tools and finess to massage the dent out.
it does not "POP" out either.

let the pro's do it. if you start pushing the wrong part of the metal you
end up distorting the dent more, making it even harder for the pro's to fix
later.

plus, the civic panels are so damn thin the metal actually stretches a little
when you put a ding in. bottom line... unless you have experience, let the
pro's do it.

Do a search in youtube for a dent remove. You will be surprise of what you can do without taking the car to a body shop.
