yeah the door panel pops off real easy, my old cobalt had a small ding in the door, I just took off the inner door panel (the plastic panel on the inside), once thats off you'll see the metal door panel... I just located the dent from the inside and smacked the dent out with a wood block and a ball-peen hammer, not professional but hey, nobody could tell there was ever a dent there.

yes but be ever so gentle, the metals quite soft, my friend bought one of those wall paper rollers from Lowes and massaged a dent out this way to.
