Well, somehow I got a dent in my driver's door. It's about 2"x1" and is closer to the door hinges than it is to the door handle.

Will removing the door panel allow me access to popping the dent out? Or will I have to go with another method?

You could try one of those "Pops-a-Dent" things they sell on TV (I've also seen them at wholesale clubs and such).

I went to my ford dealer and they had a paint less dent removal guy take out 2 dents on my sho. It wasn’t that expensive either. 150$ I think.

I had my driver door done by a "Dent Wizard" type guy and it turned out great. Total cost was sround $100 or so.

DO NOT do the Billy maze pops a dent fix. Not only is it not effective it will pull the metal outward over stressing the metal so that when you decide the repair isnt good enough and you call a paintless dent repair guy to fix it he will tell you it cant be done because the metal has been stressed outward! Why do i know this you ask? Because the jackleg i bought greenbean from did this exact thing and i hired a dent repair guy to pop what the previous owner attempted to fix out and he couldnt. So now ive got a small wavy looking crease that will require hammering in and filling with bondo should i ever be inclined to fix it. Only i notice it so i dont worry about it. For something like this hire a professional, they know what they are doing and can yield the greatest results. I had a guy here in town go over mine and he charged 50 a panel so it came out to 150 bucks to do the entire car minus that crease that was screwed up by the pops a dent. His work was amazing and you cant even see where the dings used to be. Its as if they never happened. :thumb:
