Paintless dent repair drivers side rear panel question

btw, drilling an access hole is common practice in PDR.

since you told your tech not to drill, then yah, there is no way he can fix that ding. i wont be able to fix it either without drilling.

if you can overcome that fear, he can probably fix it to about 98-99% if he's willing to take the time.
he would then either use silicon glue or plug. it's no big deal really. get a cup of coffee if you can't stand watching.

Seriously, thanks for all your help/advise. I know I sound like the customer from hell. I've had some bad experiences in the past with drilling and I really hate those plugs... I'm not sure what I'm going to do but in all honesty I'd rather leave the dent than drill in the fender well. I'll admit I may consider drilling behind the tail light, but as you said that's not really an option so I guess I'll live with the dent. Thanks for the info with the manual, I'll take a look at it and show to the tech and see if we can come up with any ideas. Please let me know if you can think of any other ideas.
