Ok, quick question. I have a dent in the right rear right in front of the tail light and I was wondering how I could get to it to pop it out from behind. I noticed in the wheel well, there is the plastic splash guard that is held on by the little pin/screw things. I was thinking I could get behind this. My question is, are those little screws easy to get out (they look confusing) also, if I break one, where do I get replacements? Thanks in advance. Here is a link if you want to see the dent.

Negatory, im fairly sure that would have to be popped from the inside..

Maybe you can get to it from behind the tail light?

I've looked and it seems to be sealed behind the tail light.

I would think you could get to it from removal of the splash guard.

Well, I took apart the plastics inside. what a pain in the ***. Got rid of some of the dent, but it wasn't too accessible from inside cause there was only a small opening on the inside metal.
