Title: Remove door cards
Post by: Ifti on April 16, 2010, 09:07:17 pm

Does anyone have a guide on removing the inside of the passenger side door?
I want to get to the car's body to try and knock out a small dent/ding.......

Cheers - I just found and watched that as well! lol. Seems that by taking the inside of the door off, it still doesnt seem you can get to the out shell of the car very easily anyways.
Just wondering if there is something I can use to pull the dent out from the outside, some kind of sucker......

The dent is perfectly round, no damage to paintwork or anything.

Maybe I'd be better of looking for someone to do it for me then!!
VW wanted to charge me just over £180!

I looked at the dent devils site, and Im sure I saw somewhere it was around £75 for the removal of a dent.
I thought it was a bit much for a dent the size of a 20p coin?
