I have a small dent on my rear fender that I want to have repaired by a DentPro specialist. What is the best way to get to the area? Would it be through the rear light plug? Or is there a better way? Thx!



Circled dent on rear fender





Plug with possibile access to dent area?

there or possibly from the wheel well. sometimes a PDR guy will drill a small hole to get access for the tools (like 1/4") and plug it. Whatever you do, let a PDR guy do it and not a body shop!

Should be say access once the wheel well liner is dropped. Should have successful PDR results in that area.

Whole bunch of access for that area. Remove the rear wheel and look back there. The quarter panels on our cars are not double layered. PDR professionals love them.

I had a similar ding on my 993 in the same area. My PDR guy used some kind of suction cup device with some hot glue from the top side to remove it. It came out great.

Provide your location and someone will probably have a good PDR guy to recommend.

I doubt they can get in through the rear tail light, just ask the PDR guy how they intend to fix it once they see it. If you're on one of the coasts you'll have a better selection of good PDR people.

Excellent, hopefully someone from that area can chime in and give you some recommendations. The other places I would contact for recommendations are your local PCA chapter, local dealer, and a high end body shop you trust.

I've seen some amazing work done by PDR, and that ding looks minor compared to what I've seen fixed.
