When you take your door panels off, are you able to touch the inside of the outer panels of the door?

It would also be nice to maybe fashion some styrofoam out to place inside the front doors to take out that awful 'flexing' when you shut the them.

For those who are asking, you do not need a door panel removal kit, it's a waste of money. The plastic pieces that need to be removed can be done with a small flat screwdriver on the armrest and a piece of bent coat hanger behind the door handle.

They cost $30-100 per dent and do good work.

The video seemed simple enough to remove the panels, so I thought it might be worth a go. I see a lot of "dent pullers" (basically high powered suction cups) - and it got me thinking that if you could push on the dent from behind then it would be an easy fix... Having said that - I've never done that before, and I could be wrong!
Again sorry to hijack! (This will be my last digression)
