Taxi Hit my F30. How to remove dent ?

fharhanrahman · 12-17-2018, 10:11 PM

Gotta love NYC. A fool crashed into my f30. Damage isn’t as bad as I thought it would be but my door is massively dented. Window goes up and down and door electronics work.

Any idea how to take out the dent ? If only there was a way to get on the other side of the dent and just push it in...

I was going to say PDR but it looks like the paint is broken.

Door is pretty mangled... Id be looking for a used door from a junkyard if I were you.

Doubtful that can be repaired satisfactorily without body filler considering the body lines/contours are involved.

Impossible to tell from this photo but thats my take.

Just contact the taxi insurance company and have them pay for a body shop to fix it properly

It’s a big fat dent in not sure if they can push it out or worth their magic. The door isn’t broken itself from the looks of it you can pull it out but the curve is what I’m worried about.

I guess I’ll just wait for their insurance company to pay me out. It’s just such an annoying process. Why can’t people just drive correctly. So embarrassing to drive with this around

I've been through alot of this.... that door needs to be replaced... find a used one and do it yourself

Presuming this wasn't your fault? Just go through the taxi's insurance and they'll take care of it...
