Default Access rear fender 997 for paintless dent repair

I need to have a paintless dent remover take care of a couple of dings in the rear fender of a 997tt. How involved is the removal of the fender liner to gain access?

Had a few dings on my 997 Targa's rear fenders repaired here locally. He did both sides to perfection in 3 hours (total of 6 dings).

He reached the dings (high up on the fenders below the rear windows without removing the fender wells. Went in through the rear tail light.

The guy I use on my cars comes out to the house and charges $100 for door dings on two cars. Very effective. On my 997 he was concerned about the time it would take to gain access to the rear fender, thus the post.

I had a small ding in my rear quarter also and they accessed it through an existing opening behind the tail light.

I had a small ding that was removed and honestly I can't find where it was. It is completely perfect and took about 10 minutes for the guy to work it out. Total cost was $50, I removed the light myself to avoid any scratches to the paint when sliding the light out.

Sometimes they will bond an item to pull the ding out if they can't get at it.
