Have a car park dent in the rear nearside arch about 2" above arch lip.
Anyone had any experiances with dent removal in that area as I have been told that it can't be done due to lack of access.
Cheers,
Steve

They guys that did ours said the only access was by drilling a small hole in the liner for access.
Sorted the dent out fine then filled the hole.
If you are in or arroound Leeds I can pass on their details.
Not the cheapest but they do work on real exotic stuff.

Hi Steve,
Where abouts in the country are you?
If you are Milton Keynes, Luton / Dunstable area I use a dent guy and would recommond him without a seconds thought.
Bloody good bloke, quality of work man ship is second to non. Worth their weight a good dent guy!!!

I can recommend some guys in Sctland/Glasgow, if need be.

I had a similar one a few years ago in the same area. At first, the dent guy removed the rear light cluster but couldn't get his tools down far enough (oh er missues :surprised:).
He then took the wheel off and partly removed the rear arch liner at it's front edge (the sort of carpeted thingy) and pulled it out a little. Behind it he found an access hole covered by a large rubber grommet. He removed the grommet and was able to reach the dent and sort it out no problem. Couldn't even tell where it was afterwards !

cheers guys,
Live in Norwich area so recomendations prob too far away.
Dealer has offered to pay as long as it's not mega costs as it should have been done before collection.

if its a double skinned panel it can sometimes be done buy a method used by dent devils which prob alike most paintless dent removal companies they glue small tacks to the dent and re-form the metal then tap it back into shape.i had a dent on my sill (thanks to vwtsc) and the guy i know sorted it no probs. pm me if you want details.
