My missus managed to have a bit of a parking incident last week with a Honda Jazz. It turns out that her "there's nothing to see" is a dented lower part of the rear tailgate on the aforementioned Jazz. It appears that the paint is unbroken but a portion of the tailgate (about 18 inches long) has been depressed, and there are two marks where it has been pushed onto rivets on the underside of the tailgate.

Appreciate this is a tricky one without sight but is this something that can be knocked out as opposed to a whole new bootlid?? Any guidance would be much appreciated, and if anyone fancies a job just off junction 18 of the M25 please shout up!

By the sounds of it, given size and the fact the metal is likely to have been stretched and warped where "two marks where it has been pushed onto rivets on the underside of the tailgate" its very unlikely it will be perfectly repairable by PDR.

Thats not to say someone wont beable to make a huge improvement on it, it all depends.
