Hello,

My truck was hit in the parking lot (I know, sucks, let's move on).

The rear quarter panel has a nasty gash and the tail light was broken. My question (and sorry if this was answered, I swear I searched): Assuming that they can't "buff it out" and it requires the panel be replaced, do I need to remove my tonneau cover? Or can all the work be done with the cover still on? Thanks in advance.

Any body shop you trust with repairing your truck should be capable of removing a tonneau cover.
