What all is behind the door panel?
My sis backed into my rear pass. door and its caved it...it looks like i might be able to pop it out tho...
If i remove the interior door panel...will i have access to the actual body to try and pop it back into place from the inside?
Or is there gonna be a lot of other components in my way?

great place to hide a lots of crack. Window regulator, a big thick bar running from side to side about halfway in the door. A rather small entry to the inside of the door and a lock mechanism but if the window is rolled up you should have plenty of space to access the panel from there. Worse you may have to remove the winder reg since it may be in the way but I would doubt it. It all depends on the size of hammer you use. Remember to start small and quickly progress to bigger ones and crow bars.
Best of luck man,

They have pretty cheap ones at auto zone, you can buy like three for 5 bux
and yes they do work wonders depending on how bad the dent is

You could take it up a notch and hire a professional to take out the dent without any repaint. They do wonders. My neighbor just showed me a repair job done for about $100.
