    I have 2 dings in my passenger side door, I finally decided these will be on the 2015 checklist.

    *****Has anyone had any luck removing door liner and massaging them out by hand? *****

    Other than that, I am thinking of the Paintless Dent Repair as the best solution. I have lived with these too long.
    Most people will compliment my paint but in the same sentence let me know I have dents in the door.

    I don't think you will have any luck removing door dings from the inside. PDR is probably your best option.

    PDR is the way to go. I used to do it for a living. You are going to be pissed off though when you see it takes a skilled tech 5 mins to take them out and you pay over 100 dollars though. It's better than the body shop option though of having them take off the door and etc.

    if you try the hammer em out deal. id make sure you warm the paint around the dent if you try this in the cold. the paint could just pop off maybe.


    ive seen some incredible vids of paint less dent removal. (like a whole quarter panel smashed in and pulled out clean) door dings should be nothing for those guys.

    I have a dent doctor a mile from here. I am going to check it out tomorrow. No doubt will be the PDR solution.
    Thanks guys

    Definitely do PDR. Some dudes charge per panel and it might not even be worth your trouble to do it yourself.

    Just have it done by pdr but don't be pissed when you see a skilled tech take your dings out in 5-10 minutes and your out 150 bucks.

    Won't work, just let the pdr guy do it. i used to do pdr and i laugh at people trying to take dents out without the right equipment such as glue puller, wrong tabs on glue puller, wrong hook tool, wrong window guard, using a reflective board instead of led light. yep used to do it.
