what is this hole for?

[michaelshin]

Was unloading my child and noticed rust formation around this plastic plug on rear right door/body area. Removing the plug shows some rust. No plug on the left side.
I guess I can clean up and paint the hole.
Its on 04 LC.

It was probably from a paintless dent removal operation.

I believe you are correct.
Wow never noticed it. Another thing look for when getting a used rig. Thank you.

Yes, consider this when having dents taken out of your rig.

Good to know. I assumed PDR would just involve removing door and other interior panels. Not misc holes drilled here and there

In the business or Paintless Dent Removal and probably just about every other business"time is money". Some areas are inacessable and a hole must be drilled. Areas like doors are typically easily accessible but removing door panels and window regulators would add at least 30 minutes to the job.

If you have a dent removed make sure you are aware of where they will drill holes is the panel. Often the doors need the side angle to get the proper tooling pressure applied and access from behind sometimes just doesn't work.

Makes sense and appreciate the heads up. PDR is on my to do list. Are there grommets or caps avail to seal the holes?
