How do you approach a severe PDR repair when the damage crosses a body line, bends the panel edge and locks metal in several different directions?In Episode 31 of PDR Universe, Žan Vidic and Zeeshan break down one of Žan’s recent extreme tailgate repairs step by step.Several technicians had already declined the job. Once the vehicle arrived and the damage was viewed under proper PDR lighting, the repair turned out to be even more complex than the photos suggested.Žan explains how he read the damage, why he used multiple lateral tensions, how he combined lifting, knockdown work and pushing, why aggressive pulling would have been a mistake, and why the tailgate eventually had to be removed and flipped to finish the hardest section.Topics include:• Big dent PDR repair• Damage mapping• Lateral tension• Metal flow• Body line repair• Bent edge repair• Heat and paint protection• Metal-on-metal pushing• Tool selection• Tailgate removal• Double-panel damage• Seam sealer• Whale-tail access• Repair planning• Knowing when to walk away and resetWatch the original repair video:https://youtu.be/5n7LUzRe8OE?si=VO6Dvq_JLTXcjcF4Learn PDR:https://bestpdrtraining.com
