Default How do you get behind the NS rear wing?

Had a couple of dents taken out by a PDR guy but he had difficulty because the neck of the petrol filler is in the way, he did the best he could. I seem to have mysteriously picked up another dent nearer to where the door shuts. Is there any other way of getting behind to push the dent out or is the only way going to be go in via the boot again?

Can't you have the dent taken out from the top with some suction device..
I'm sure I saw it on tomorrows world a few years ago so it should be available by now?

It's not a dent that is likely to 'pop' out, it needs a bit of coaxing.

Remove the HONDA branded kick panel and unscrew the hangers behind the seat.
Pop off the rubber door seal and the inner plastic trims (clips and pops)
Easy access to the B pillar area through the inner frame.

The long one on the sill sir, with the Honda logo on it.
From memory it has to come off to make removal of the inner quarter panel plastic easier.
As its tucked in behind the edge?

Sorry if thats no accurate, but just start dismantling the plastic and all becomes clear

You want that big panel that covers the inside of the quarter panel, where the tonneau cover pops onto, out of the way.
IIRC there is an inner skin but its got big holes to reach inside to the area you wish to dress out.

HTH.

Don't suppose there's an exploded diagram available so I don't go snapping off any clips? Would be a lot better in pictures...
