it looks like it can be fixed. Its a slight dent with almost no creasing. If you were to get the panel replaced, half you car would have to be rewelded...

I don't think pillar dents can be popped without drilling it because they're so narrow and rigid. They wouldn't replace that; they'd just fill it and blend it. Wouldn't be horribly expensive.

Gonna see tomorrow, some of the PDR guys are badass and there practically isnt a dent that they cant fix. I am curious too because of the spot that it is in. I have seen door panels and hoods and trunks popped out to perfection.

It looks to me like he would have to pop it out from the top part of the pillar where the windshield is because the bottom is rounded to where there is no access. Or maybe the top part is like that as well, I cant really tell without taking things apart.

I tried a cheap fix with dry ice and it didnt do a damn thing. I saw some youtube videos on it and seemed like it might work, but not for me.
