I've got a
987.1
Cayman S
with a VERY shallow dent just above and behind the driver rear side vent. It is barely noticeable, but the only issue from having a perfect body.
Any thoughts on PDR access. I'm thinking, wheel liner removal rather than removal of the side grille assembly.
Its easy to remove the wheel liner so I'd start there.
Why not just have him use one of those pull plugs?
yeah I think Porsche08 is right - IIRC the PDR guy I went to used those pull plugs on that area.
btw PDR is quite a specific skill.... if there is one in your area may be worth the visit.
My pdr guy has some made skills… he’ll use a pull
plug
, pull the dent out further than it needs to be, and then to get it perfect he’ll break out a little flat hammer and start tapping it into shape… it’s wild to watch
Yeah, same for my guy. He can work miracles! Just last month I took him my other non P car that recently had a huge tree limb fall from overhead directly onto the hood while driving down an access road. It smashed my windshield and put three big, ugly dents in the hood. And to make matters worse the dents were along the edge of an almost 90* decorative, rolled upward bend in the metal made along the top of the hood on both sides, so not the easy flat part in the middle.
I didn't think for a second he would be able to completely solve the issue considering the creases were in the complex factory bends on the hood, but I cannot even tell where the damage was anymore! He said it took him all day long to do it. Anyone else would have just replaced and repainted the hood, so Ive learned to always let them look at this issue first no matter how bad I think the damage is. I also learned that I scream like a little girl when a giant limb falls straight down without any visual warning on my car at 40MPH.

’s in general a more prone to dings and dents especially with the wide rear fenders.. the front kicks rocks and stuff up etc. I made some magnet stone guards and that’s helped especially with Cup II’s and or Avids…
