Lotta people here who can help with the fix man. cops are douchebags in NY, I can't tell you how much sh*t they put me through, drivers here arent the best either. rear panels suck to fix, but with a bit of knowledge it shouldnt be too bad.
Ohh trust me JBI, I can imagine how much excrement they put you through. I know the door is not the biggest problem, but the biggest one is the rear panel. is there a way to fix it without filling it out. Ive seen some videos on youtube where they suck the betal back to its place and some other similar things.
yeah sh*t sucks especially when you get backed into a corner, you really didn't have much of a choice, you can try pulling out the quarter panel, but its pretty tough. those things that you use to pull them out, stay away from the cheap ones, the dont work well whatsoever, I would start by using my hands to push it out from the inside, if hard to reach, use something firm but soft to push against it.
either way you look at it tho you will need to sand and fill a few areas...worse case scenario it's uneven, sand, fill and paint. should cost you a few hundred dollars at the most and should look decent.
lol, It wasnt a problem for me to knock him out, but i just didnt want any trobule becuase there were people over there and most of them were jewish, and jewish people tend to be very "rat'ish", and call the police right away... and Im sure one of them would have gotten my lisence plate number. so i just said fornicate it, its best not to deal with these assholes, and drove away..

hmm.. thats interesting JBI. how can i reach the quarter panel from the inside? i mean, i know i have to be inside the car, but does the plastic from the inside comes off? I think this would be the best bet for me like you said, to try and push it from the inside.
yeah, get it from the inside, the panel comes off, seat out, just pull on it, it's held in by those pressure pins or whatever they call them. that's where the alarm system is too, that can be removed with a screwdriver, rear seat is easy to remove. then try pushing, if you bang it tho that will deform the exterior of the car. i found out the hard way, hammers are a bit rough on it shiano .
this might sound weird but stuffing it with a couple denims and pushing it with your foot from the inside is the most gentle and efficient way to do it without causing damage.

I am going to try this as soon as possible. That doesnt sound wierd at all though, its sounds very logical. I am wondering though JBI, were you able to see the pics? The reason that I am asking this is because the dent on the quarter panel is on towards the lower part of the panel, and I am not sure if i will be able to reach that area even if i take out the seat and the panels from the inside.
with the trim panel and seat removed, you'll be able to see that it's just a cavern like area where your dent is. if you fill it up with stuff, adding pressure, it should just push out to the other side, some areas are hard to reach using anything else, so stuff it as much as possible, let me kno how it goes.
Stuffing does seem like a good idea. But if you're gentle and careful, you can use the hammers i'm talking about. These aren't your regular carpenter's hammers. lol.
But i'd try the stuffing trick first. JBI isn't a certified body tech, so hammering is left to the pro's. Since stuffing worked for him, i'd give it a shot first.

We made the mistake of purchasing them once, and only once TThen we thought, hey , whats the real difference between that and a plunger. So wet wet the end, put on the huge dent on my dads car, and voila!! It works like a charm, its free(unless you dont own one which then leads me into thinking you dont have a bathroom which then makes me think your homeless- dont get me wrong , Im not saying you are ) JUst make sure the plunger isint too wet, and I guess its efficiency also depends on the kind of dent..
will do the stuffing thing, definetly, thanks JBI and every one else. but I noticed you plunging, I just want to make sure we are on the same page - are we talking about this kind of plunger:?
