Default Paintless dent repair access for quarter panel



I have two tiny dents on the rear quarter panel that look like they were PDR repaired by the previous owner but there are still some minor imperfections.
What would be the best way to access behind the panel in that area? Is removing the interior trim necessary?
Any recommendations for PDR in the Orange County, CA area would be greatly appreciated.

I recently had a ding on my quarter panel repaired via PDR. We were able to access the quarter panel by removing the rear speakers which was very to do. It gives you direct access to the back of the quarter panel. There is also an access hole in the door jam but we didn't need to use it for the ding I had. Hope that helps.

Well, this makes me hopeful. I was looking at this photo showing the rear panel being repaired and, to me, it looked like the access hole would be inside that bulbous looking thing. Could be a perspective thing.

I found my old thread but photobucket appears to have swallowed up my pics. Not sure if it was that specific access hole or perhaps another one. I’ll have a good look tomorrow but my fear was that there was a double shell of some sort in that area because that’s what I had heard. It came out perfect.

You need to call Beach Cities Paintless Dent Repair in HB. I had a dent in the exact same spot in my TT and they fixed it perfectly.

714-553-2081. I paid around $800 but it’s absolutely perfect.
