    Find a good PDR guy in your area , he may be able to glue pull it but it’s right on an edge so it may not come completely out , you may have to go body shop if he can’t get to it . That’s a tough spot for dent removal .

    That’s never coming out, the metal has stretched. As above, if a PDR guy can actually get in their, you can minimize the extent of how it looks. But the PDR guy will have to do a ton of work to even know if he can do anything, since they will have to remove the headliner and hopefully there is some access close, as that area is double skinned. It may not even be work that kinda effort, as PDR will never fix it completely. The only true fix is a body shop where they will sand it, pull it and filler / repaint.

    No "popping" that one out, thats a body shop repair. That isn't your door either its the roof rail, like said above there is a reinforcement behind the skin.

    Don't waste your time, if you want it fixed (I mean, really fixed) take it to a good body shop.
