You can mostly get anywhere on a car except for rails or dog legs. Darli328 that isn't to bad of a ding. If it was me working on that dent the best thing to do is to take out the tail light and stick a long rod down there, and if its too tight of a space the I would probably use a special tool called a Whale Tail to get in that tight place.
Went to my dent guy today. He tried his best to pull it out with hot glue but most of the dent is still there. He also thinks taking off the tail light might be too far from the dent and he's not sure if there's even a way to get to the area behind the dent from the tail light. What do you guys think about that? Can you access the back of the panel from the tail light?
He also said I have another option. He could take tire/wheel off and wheel liner and try to access the area behind the dent that way. Does anyone know if there's a way to access that area without drilling? My dent guy said worse case he could take the wheel and wheel liner off and drill a hole behind the plastic liner to gain access to the area behind the dent. I really don't want to drill but that sounds like my only option, and at least the hole would be behind the wheel liner. Any thoughts?
