After washing my 2017 Honda Accord today i noticed a small indent in the body right above the passenger side door. The car is still very new with only 8000 miles on it. It might have been there since delivery. Not sure. Its not a place where you would normally take notice. Its strange that there is no actual mark or impact on the body itself. My question. Is this something that can be pushed out or will it have to be filled in and repainted and blended? Ive included pics of the indent.
Thanks Mike

If that spot can be gotten to from inside, i.e. by removing some trim pieces - then there's a real good chance a PDR guy (paintless dent repair) could get that out.

After checking a ton of PDR vids i finally found one with damage in the same area as mine although much worse. He does it all from tapping on the outside and pulling.
After watching this guy i know it can be done. This guy is a artist. Amazing results!
