doors really this thin??

oneredry · 11-15-2017, 08:44 AM

So my car is tucked away. Yesterday I opened up my Buick Enclave door and ever so slightly tapped my drivers door with the Buick's rear door. I wasn't to worried about it at first because it wasn't' hard what so ever. but the best got to me and I went ahead and checked under the blanket, no scratches, however there is a ever so slightly crease like where the Buicks door hit. I was thinking, what the heck? it barley touched it. you can barley see it but I know its there. if you look at it at an angle you can see it, you can't see it directly on. But its bothering me. Any idea as to how I can get rid of it? I've seen people pour hot water on some things and it pop out. but not sure?? Shy of getting someone to drill a hole on the side and using a dent popper (which isn't worth it at that point).

Is the pic supposed to be of the dent or the car tucked away?

it was to represent how far in the corner and what it looks like. (so called protected), I didn't have a chance to snap a picture of the slight crease. This was taken the day I put it away.

Probably an easy fix for any experienced PDR guy.

Door dings are a bitch, and yes they are thin

^^wow, guess I should consider myself lucky then.. what happened to that??^^

The metal on our cars is super thin. I have a few dings from barely touching it and a rather large ding on the rear wheel well where a plastic ramp fell over on it and barely touched it. I was shocked. PDR should be able to get it out no problem in your case on the door.

I find that the weakest part of the Camaro after renting one out in Florida was the rear upper quarter panels. If you press just a bit with your thumb/finger on the panel it will dent. I had acorns ding mine up last winter. The one i rented in florida looked like tiny dings all over both sides, like paper thin crap so be careful in this area. Just saying...

Yup, they are that thin. I got a tiny ding from someone. Find a good paintless dent repair guy, they can take it right out. You can't even see where mine was now.

And a good guy doesn't have to drill holes, they can go down through the window jam.
