hi everyone

my MCSa got a dent when i parked him
its in panel beside driver door

i think a douche just slamed their door to my car

my paint its ok, just a small dent

i will post a photo later

hope all of u can give me advice to repair it

thx, and sorry for bad english

 

I would try the PDR route first. I just had about 18 dents I got from hail removed via the PDR process. I was really amazed with the outcome. Unless they cannot get to the inside of the panel that needs to be fixed, then traditional body shop methods will take over.

 

If the paint in not cracked, paintless dent repair would be the best option.

If the paint is cracked, you might be able to find a company that will pop out the dent and do touch up paint with a blend. If you take it to a body shop and the paint is not cracked, they most likely would sublet it to a PDR company and charge some on top for what they have to pay.

If you are in the Houston area, I know a good company.

im afraid dent location must remove interior panel behind door panel

is there anyone knows how to remove it?

or maybe they can fix it by removing tail light

tomorrow i will post dent photo

 

any opinion how to pdr it?

like from where it must get push from inside or what i must remove to get in there, thx

 

Most likely they will drill a hole in the door jamb in front of it, or if possible, go thru the taillight.

 

whoaa, i dont like someone drill something to my car

is it posible if they remove my interior and fix it from inside???or it that way can make more terrible??

i hope they can fix it from tail light

is it ok to remove tail light?can it make an ecu error or something electrical?

thx for advise

 

I haven't been inside the doors on a mini yet to know if you can get through or not. The drill isn't as bad as it sounds and they cap it afterwards, you wouldn't even know its there if you weren't paying for it, lol.
A lot of used cars have these holes in them..
I'd be trying the taillight first if possible and no it won't throw any codes taking it off. Good luck!

 

From what I can see in the photos, it looks like a PDR candidate. Don't worry about a hole in the door jamb: a good PDR guy will do it neatly, coat the exposed metal, and put a rubber grommet in it. You won't be able to tell the difference.

 

I had PDR in a similar location and they did not drill a hole.
I'm not sure how they did it but no hole and good as new.

If you are going to get PDR repair, ask them how much to do the whole car.
My shop found a bunch of little spots I did not worry about and did the whole car for $250. My '04 MCS is as good as new. (except for the paint chips on the bonnet )

 

i already bring my mcs to pdr guy

he use a tool that can pull dent n stick glue

n with little finishing touch my car became amazing again

thx for advice guys

 

Good for you! That is known as a Glue Pull where a little attachment is hot glued to the dent and pulled out with a dent puller similar to how a body shop would repair a dent except they would weld it on.

Glue Pulls are good only on factory paint as on repainted panels it can actually pull off a huge chunk of paint.

Also as some have mentioned..drilling to fix a dent is really a bad option. The best PDR guys can get to a dent without drilling and will tell you whether it can be fixed or not due to potential structural parts preventing access.

i think its ok for my paint cos they covered it first with a duct tape then a glue stick

so my paint its not interact directly with hot glue
