I have to take the door panel off and then try to pop out the dent, it then apparently needs a sound deadening film to be applied and put back together. I have to buy a cheap tool, looks like a straight screwdriver with a notch out of the tip to take out the rivets(?) on the door panels. I'll be busy

The dent man did make it look better than it was but it still is quite indented above the first body line on the door.

Re: door dent, S4 spider

I've had a quick look in the workshop manual and you should be able to remove the panels by undoing 8 screws..... followed by releasing the "coupling pins"

Never done this myself but here's what it looks like

Re: door dent, S4 spider

Thanks GJ, I hadn't looked at the manual yet, the pics are great.
Apparently then I can get inbetween the reinforcing beam that runs along the crease and the skin of the door to pop the dent (fingers crossed) I don't want to have the door redone, repainted cause it won't stay matched in the red for long.
