Default How can I get into my rear door panel?

I have a dent on the angle of the rear door exterior panel.
I want to get in there with a metal stick to fix the dent... Any way for me to get in there?

Has anyone tried using a heat gun and dry ice? The dent is a vertical line from another door so dry ice shouldn't be as effective.

Looks like this -----> |

Talking Need a better idea of the dent location.

Is it under the door handle on the curve? Give me an approximate location: How many inches down from and side to side from the top outside edge of the handle. I've worked on Honda doors for many years...

If it's worth fixing, it's worth fixing right. A dent will probably only cost about $50 to get repaired by an experienced paintless dent repair specialist. The tools you need to do paintless dent repair can cost you several thousands of dollars, and it is not easy to do and requires much training.

Dry ice really doesn't work very well.
