If contact with another vehicle has completely dented a door panel and there are scratches or paint damage, one solution is to try to straighten the panel by pulling it with a suction cup instead of pushing it from the inside by removing the door panel.

There is a specific tool for this, a slide hammer with a suction cup tip. Clean the surface of the door, spray some water to ensure the suction cup adheres perfectly, and pull back the slider to give a sharp pull, repeating the process until the panel is fully restored.
