Hello,

the problem here is that this is not an easy fix if you want a good result, because of the rounded lines from the rear to the door. You can try to pull it out, but it is very very hard to get that fit exaclty, because of the round shape of the door, the inner door and the outside of the body plank. Also the intake/vent area is problematic, because the metal is "folded".

The question is also if the lines of the rear fender are correct or if the fender is closer to the tunk lid and convertible top case now. That could be a structural problem.

Structure of the door seems to be OK from the photo.

So the correct way would be to replace the rear right part completely.

Maybe you can find somebody who will replace it with a used body plank from a donor car.

Maybe you can find an older car body builder or a car restaurator who will try to fix it by pulling. But it will be time consuming and this repair will afford a kind of a patient metal artist.

Hope that helps.

Regards, Markus
