To me that is a certain recipe for rust down the track so I avoided them. I ended up finding a really good paintless dent removal guy and the work he did was simply magic. I know where the dents were and I can't find any signs of them now. And he was cheaper than the panel shops (which didn't really worry me as the car was insured with Shannons).
Cut the roof off? Are they crazy?!

All that needs to be done for the roof is removing the headliner and popping out the dents like any other.

The hardest dents to remove are those on the side pillars but can still be done. Part of the problem is the side airbag assemblies are embedded here but professionals can do it properly. Plus, it's the most solid part of any panel.

Nope but they are selfish. Why pay a dent removal guy to do it when they can give their apprentices something to practice on.
