AGH! Crease in door panel

two_masks · 08-03-2005, 12:52 AM

So, a friend of mine decided to store a large but low plastic box in my garage... unfortuntely it stuck out a little too far, but was too low for me to notice, and it put a crease along the entire length of the right-rear door panel of my '04.

Since I don't think I can live with this, I'd like to get it fixed if it won't break the bank. Those who have more experience in body repairs than I: do you think this would be a candidate for paintless dent removal? The paint appears unbroken, but the crease is long and pretty close to the bottom of the panel.

Any help or advice would be great in this dark time...

Hmm...

They might be able to take the door panel off and "roll" it from the other side or something to remove most of the crease. Dunno offhand. Not sure if they can "pull" a crease like a regular ding in a panel.
