PDR on rear wing - possible?

[CharlesElliott]

My A6 has a dent on the rear wing and my usual dent man says that he can't do it due to the double skin. On smaller repairs he can drill a hole but this is more complex than that. So at this point, I'm looking at reverting to a 'traditional' repair plus paint.

Anyone think this is likely to be doable via PDR? To be honest, I'm not that keen to have holes drilled for access anyway, but I am interested in opinions. I'm based in Weybridge, Surrey.

Nope, it's double skinned and there is no room for a tool to get in.

You may be able to get it 90% if they can glue pull it?

[CharlesElliott]

Understood - 90% would be fine, although I need to find someone that can glue pull it.

I wouldn't have thought glue pulling would put the arch line back, or remove the crease where the outer skin has folded in on the inner skin, but then again I've seen some pdr jobs that I've been amazed at.

[CharlesElliott]

You could well be right - someone has offered to fix/improve it for 15% of the cost of a prepare/fill/respray so it is worth a go. I'm not expecting it to be perfect.

I was sceptical but had it done on the wing of an Audi TT for a friend who had a strong perfectionist streak about her treasured TT.

The repair was virtually undetectable.

Try this guy, no involvement with his company but admire his skill. He does your area.

Edited to add...

Just noticed he has a photo before and after the repair with a testimonial from my friend. (Joan) on his Advantages page. Audi quoted for a complete new wing and paint job and could not guarantee perfect paint match!

This would glue pull not a problem, check out pdrnation.org or tdnautomotive for a decent tech who can repair this
