External repair possible for this crease?

[RustyNissanPrairie]

I have a Cayenne 958 that has a small crease on the swage line of the driver's door. It was there when I bought the car a few months ago.

Been in contact with a local PDR company but they have said that they'd want access to the inner of the door skin. I've had the door card off myself to change the window module previously. Removing the door card then reveals the inner door assembly that is rivetted in place and mounts the speakers and window regulator.

I'm not wanting to disassemble the door that much hence asking if this size/type of crease could be pulled externally without needing to strip the door?

If only working from the outside they would probably spot weld a lug or two onto the door skin so they can pull the dent out then repaint.

Alternative is fill and repaint.

I think you need to go see a pdr chap, remove the door card and ask what he could do without further disassembly but I think I could live with a little dent like that.

I've seen YouTube where PDR people 'glue' plastic pulls to dents, I was hoping that would be possible for this type of dent.

The car is new to me so I'm wanting it baselined into my ownership.

Looks PDR-able but access to it (from the inside) might be restricted by a reinforcement bar in the door cavity.

Like inbox suggests, it might be doable by glue/pulling.

Have they said they want access from the rear; or they need access from the rear?

I just watched a youtube video showing the glue pulling, that is a demonstration of how well attached the paint is, my biggest worry would be pulling the paint off the panel.
