    So, I f'd up and damaged my front bed panel by failing to secure a loose WDH. I have searched this forum and did a Google search but I'm having trouble locating a replacement. Anyone replaced one? I'm also going to check the salvage yards.

    How bad is it? If it is what I am thinking then probably a body shop job.

    It's just dented in some. I could live with it probably. I thought about taking it off and hammering on it some myself. Most of my beds get some damage at some point :anonymous:

    My last Tacoma had a plastic bed so it just got scuffed up.

    I wanted to price the panel. I figured it wouldn't be too expensive to just buy a new panel and have it LineX'd.

    This has to be a pretty common f up.

    Maybe check into PDR (paintless dent repair), have heard some good things about their capabilities.

    Mine is dented as well but the drop in liner hides it completely. Curious if you could just put a liner or similar to just the front panel to hide and protect?

    It has a spray in liner so I don't think so. I just find it strange I can't find a replacement panel on line. May be poor Google Fu skills. I'll call the dealer as well.
