How

The
method used to access a dent depends on the location
of the dent. The following is a look at some of
the common ways to access a dent for removal:
Doors:

the window down and access through the window
ledge opening.
- Access
through existing manufacturer opening in the
door jam area.
- Take
the door panel off.
- Drill
a hole in the door jam and finish by inserting
a silicone covered plug-which will prevent
corrosion and provide for a factory look.

through a manufacturer opening or vent in
the rear door jam area.

sometimes is required).

the dent from wheel well.
