Day off tomorrow I’ll grab the door panels I need to replace and grab the cooling hoses from the wreckers.
Progress has been extremely slow with this return to work and this is a 4th vehicle so the priority is low.
I did manage to remove most of the dent in the tailgate.
I don’t have the power lift gate. So this was a breeze. Remove the inner grab handle cap with a pick and then 2 7mm bolts.
the rest are clips and took 5 mins to remove
pop out 2 pins from around the latch
Turn the heat gun to high moving over the area for about 5 minutes
With mechanic glove on I pressed my fist into the dent and pop it almost came right out 97% repaired. I don’t own a hammer and dowel and it looks good enough to me. Not perfect but much better than how I got it
