Fixing Major Dents

Step 2 Removing the skin

With the door off the car, you can now begin to detach the sheetmetal skin. The perimeter of the skin is folded over the doorframe at the factory. Grind on the edge of the door's perimeter until you separate the folded flap on the back side of the door from the skin that forms the door surface. Be sure not to grind away too much --when you see the gap, move on. Once you've gone around the entire door, you should be able to peel away the folded sheetmetal from the doorframe. Wear eye protection and gloves when grinding --the metal's edges are sharp.
