So I thought that over the winter I'll get a couple of very minor door dings removed from my 914. I've never removed a door panel myself but I'm questioning whether the bigger risk is having a very careful novice like me remove them or leave it to the guy doing the pdr work? Really don't want to find the door cards or clips messed up because of someone not being terribly careful. Who's more likely to ef it up....me or them?

Also looking for recommendations for great per guy in Atlanta.

Thanks

I've removed several door panels from various cars over the years but even with very careful use of semi-rigid plastic tools, a few at the front lower corners pulled through both panels. The culprit was large holes cut for speakers with no backing plate or vapor barrier behind them. In the past I was able to successfully repair the fiberboard holes to hold new clips with epoxy or polyester resin although several hardening glues would do the job, probably with less effort and mess.
