Default Ok, i heard that paintless dent removal CANNOT be done if the dent is close to the edge of a panel..

so how close are we talking about? i got a ding in my door, but really want to know if it's too close to the edge to fix...it's MAYBE 5 inches (havent measured) from the edge of the rear driverside door.<p>2000 1.8tqms Santorin/Ecru
