Only had my 2002 AV for 2 months and already someone has hit it. Hit and Run while parked on city street. The passenger side is scraped/dented from the rear wheel forward. It had to have been a truck or SUV cause the damage is higher than if a car had hit it. They knocked a piece of cladding off, the front passenger door has a good sized dent and now won't open. Of course I'm a cheapskate and only carry liability. (kicking myself HARD )
I always wanted to learn how to do body work, so now I guess I will.
Question: How big of a PIA is it to remove the door panel with the door still closed? Can it be done? If not, How else to get the door open? If I can get the panel off, I'm hoping to push the dent out enough for the door to open and close again.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
