Does anybody know if there’s a access way to get into and to the back side of the rear lower quarter sheet metal, with a tool or hands to reach down and either hand press or use a pdr rod “ paint less , dent removal tools”.
I feel like with a little bit of heat from a heat gun. I could press this out at least better only real dent on the truck when I bought it. but from underneath the truck, the inner panel doesn’t allow you access right to the outer . I thought maybe there’s a cavity inside the cargo area if I took the plastic trim out of the back maybe but I would only do that if somebody knows for sure if I can get down into it. I need access to the outer skin from the inside.
Indent below
Ignore the dirt there all around me .The only thing I could think of is to cut an access panel from the inside skin, as I’ve marked in the X in the photo but then that’s stupid... I feel like because I’m exposing good Sheet metal there are rubber plugs, but not at the right angle to get a tool in there.
The goal is to press it out to an acceptable point and then maybe PDR the rest of it. I don’t wanna mess up the paint or pull it from the outside with a stud weld puller tool .. I think it would pop back with heat and some type of pressure from the inside pushing or outside pulling .. it might end up with a slight crease towards the bumper, hard to tell but I can work with that later.
I’ve seen these. I don’t know how well they work. They make an air dent puller of coarse harbor freight tools and a pdr set . Anyone think I’d have a luck on either with this dent?
