SOS Dent Shows a Cool PDR Tip (Porsche 911 Turbo)

Our friends at SOS Dent recently posted an article in regards to gaining access on a rear quarter panel of a Porsche 911 turbo. I have definitely been up this alley before and so I thought I would help share his article with all of you other pdr techs. It's also not a bad article for anyone who wants to know how we go about getting to your dent without drilling. Of course if this was not possible from behind, we would definitely use a "glue pull" technique that also avoids drilling.

Here's some of what David at SOS Dent had to say about the paintless dent repair..


Hi guys,

I had a chance to work yesterday on 09 997 turbo. It was just small ding and I thought this will be easy as always. We service Beverly Hills Porsche dealership so we work on turbos all the time. But this was first time I did quarter panel. Some panels are aluminum (hood, doors) but this was metal.  






Ding with reflection



So I lift the car up and knowing that Porsche already has factory opening in quarter panel I thought I just go through there. Well I find out that instead of inner metal structure there is something else.

Hey David...That vent comes out easily by pulling on the front of it. Inner vent just get's pushed out of the way and you have full access.
