NEW DOOR? NO! I’ll fix it using PDR
Рет қаралды 1,156,410
5 жыл бұрынCheck out my other rear door repair I did on this Blue VW Polo: • HOW TO REMOVE A DENT L...
This was a real challenging dent to do as there were several areas of damage on this door, the main impact crease had stretched the metal and caused the frame edge to twist slightly. It was also a challenge to get it finished in time as the sun was setting fast, so some of the last shots were getting a bit dark!
I hope you enjoy it and maybe learn a thing or two from watching it.

Problem isn't lack of skill. I'm a PDR tech myself and I specialize in hail damage. I know many very highly skilled techs. The problem is the insurance companies don't want to pay us what we are worth. They beat us up on price every step of the way. Most severe repairs simply aren't worth our time for what they want to pay. Just my 2 cents.

So I had a Dunning-Kruger moment watching this. As he started hammering the dent initially, I thought "Hey, that doesn't look so hard!" Then he started talking about metal stress and metal stretching and balancing forces, then he started pulling out tools I've never seen to hammer dents from angles that didn't look possible. "Oh, right!" I realised. "It only looked simple because I had no knowledge or experience in the matter." That's quite amazing work! :)

Incredible repair. I think the one thing many people overlook between repair with PDR vs new panel is that even though you're reworking a panel and may not be able to get it to 100%, how it looks visually may be substantially better than a new panel that has to be colour matched, blended, aligned etc. You've managed to save a part and bring it in-line with the condition of the rest of the car, which is the biggest win, in my books.
