I would look under the hood before you unscrew anything. Just make sure it's not welded.. but I think you're going to find it is.

[QUOTE=ted2012;2847394]hello guys, was installing the front right speaker of my car and unhooked the door "hindge" that holds the door and the wind blew really hard and dented the piece rite above the antenna ....does this piece come off maybe i can bring it to the body shop separetly rather than bringing the whole car over there or no? thanks



No, it does not come off, unless you unbolt the entire fender. It is tack welded to the fender. Your best option is to hire/use one of the dent removal companies most dealers and body shops call for something like this. I have "the mirror dent" (did it the 2nd day after I bought it new) and probably 25% of the 62,000 members of this forum have one on the drivers side (very rare on the passenger side). They got mine almost completly out and I covered the tiny remaining dent with a small sticker. So, good luck.

I think they are all welded. Buddies got hail damage there (08 Sahara) and they couldn't fix it with paintless dent repair, so it's still there

a good paintless dent repair guy should be able to get that out .. or atleast make it very hard to see... to remove that section you have to remove the whole fender with it... but i say call a paintless dent repair place and they will come to you.

Consider it a 'right of passage'.

It has happened to many other JK owners as well and a common solution is to leave it alone or have 'the guy' come and pay your Jeep a visit.
