I'm going to be taking my car into the bodyshop soon to have the QP repaired and repainted because of a dent. No clue how it happened, that's how I bought the car.

Anyways, is there a way to get access to the inside of the QP where I've circled the dent? Reason being is I do not want them to drill into the QP, pull the dent then smoothen with filler, I'd rather try to push the dent out as best I can instead of drilling. I've tried taking the interior trim out behind and around the seats with no luck.

 

I saw a PDR guy remove dents in the QP by drilling an access hole along the door jam

 

This exactly.. Have them drill an plug one on both sides. That way future dings can be removed. Looks OEM too if its the same on both sides.
