Default How to access the rear fender?

Hey guys,

Do any of you know how to get access to the rear fender? I backed out into something and I dented it in. I wanted to get under it and push it out. I took off the bumper and looked under the wheelwell but it seems to be enclosed. Any suggestions? Thanks.

bro, did you hit sumthing because your headrest was in the way?

well, that's what i've done anyway. there are two more xa's that have scrapes on the sides of the rear bumper at the college i go to. i suspect they blame their huge headrests, too.

Are you talking about the rear quarter panel? Depending where it is, you have to either take the wheel off and bang it out, or take the paneling out from the inside and bangit out...You'd be better off going to a shop and getting an estimate..then asking them what they are gonna do...

thanks for your comments. I plan on getting this fixed by a professional but I don't have the money to do so right now. So until then I wanted to push the dent out so that it's somewhat normal looking. anyone know if drilling a hole is the only way to get to the rear quarter panel?

Is it a dent that dry ice could probably pop out?

If you're going to get it fixed by a professional, don't touch it. You may make it worse than it already is.
