Im an idiot... bad ding - Toyota Yaris Forums

AlexNet0 · 01-31-2009, 06:27 PM

sooo, was wondering how to remove the rear passenger side panel right by the tire.. circled below, I slid on some ice and hit a snowbank/ditch and crumpled the panel RIGHT ACROSS THE CREASE.... anyway Im pretty sure I can get it out as long as I can pull that panel.

not my car stating the obvious, will post pics of my actual damage when its light out

EDIT: Mods can remove this post... I just looked at the collision manual, im pretty much fucked getn that panel off. Better just take it to the body shop.

I wonder if taking off the interior panel would give you enough access to that area to pop it out from behind?

maybe, ill check sometime, technically i am physically able to grind and remove the panel and re-tack weld it on when fixed, but the time required is not quite worth it to me.

If anyone else knows if I can remove the interior panel to bang it out, let me know either on here or PM.

thanks altitude for the reply
