Is there any way to do something similar on plastic? Pisses me off because I don't know how it happened. It would be impossible to have been hit by another car without damaging the door above. About the only thing I can think of is I do go down a street from time to time that has large speed bumps. Maybe the car bottomed out there and it twisted the plastic panel. I have no clue.
you dont pound out metal using PDR. that would be the last thing i would do unless im using the knockdown tool to gently tap down high spots.

you can PDR plastic pieces, but if the bend is sharp (like from that lift above) there's only limited amount of dent removal you can do with PDR. might be best to get it spot bondo'ed and painted, or just get new rockers entirely.
