If the car door is hit and the other party is fully at fault, should it be repaired or replaced?

[Ingrid]

For the question of whether to replace or repair a dented car door, it cannot be generalized. First, analyze the actual situation to determine how severe the damage is. If the door is only dented without deformation, damage, or bending of the metal structural components, and it can be pulled out with force, then it is recommended to simply perform sheet metal work, apply atomic gray filler, and repaint. In this case, the original factory door can be retained. Below is relevant information about damaged car doors: 1. Cracks in the door: If the door is severely hit, with cracks inside, metal bending at the corners, or damage to reinforcement ribs and structural components, it is advisable to replace the entire door. Avoid sheet metal repairs and do not dwell on whether the parts are original factory components. 2. Damage to metal parts: Do not overly concern yourself with whether the metal parts are original factory components. If metal parts are damaged, it is recommended to replace them rather than attempting sheet metal repairs to retain the original parts, as this may lead to greater losses over time.
