Default PDR access on convertible

I have a some door dings above the wheel openings on the rear 1/4 panels on an 01 TA. The paint is otherwise in good condition, so I am considering PDR. I've had good luck with PDR on other cars in the past.

The problem is access to this area. When viewed from inside the trunk, there appears to be a flange (part of the body) that blocks access to the inside of the rear 1/4 above the wheels.

I would rather leave the dings than drill access holes.

I am willing to remove the rear interior/speakers/whatever to give the PDR guy a way in there.

Anyone know if this would help? I don't want to do it unnecessarily.

Much appreciated if anyone could fill me in.

I do pdr and u can pull ur tail light to get to the dent if there in the back half of the quarter. if the dents are in the front part of the quarter you can pull the int panel and should be fine on getting them out (the pdr guy will thank you if do and prob save you a few bucks on the bill). Camaro and ta Quarters arnt to bad to pdr except if there in the wheel lip.
