b pillar door dents

[montana]

My current and previous Clio both had these, they seem to attract them in this area... What are my options for repairing?

Obvious thought is getting a non dented replacement door, has anyone else gone down the filler route instead?

I've got the same issue on the passenger door. I'm undecided what to do as I was going to get a bit of bodywork sorted whether to get it touched up or just get another door.

Get a decent dent guy?

A dent guy got my b pillar dent out, he had to drill a hole from the inside though, but just filled it with a small bung.

Not sure about a dent guy because of the rigidity of the door pillar, I can't see it being possible to pull it out, not like with a flexible panel e.g wing

^ ah that's good to know then...did it have to be filled and painted though ?

 

[davebem]

Nope, the dent was right in the middle of the pillar, he drilled a small hole near the edge of the inside of the door at an angle and managed to push it out from behind, no filling or painting, you would never know the dent had been there. You can see the dent it had in this picture.

Unless its right on the edge of a panel, then a good dent guy can get any dent out. (Unless the cars been proper crashed! Lol)
