A GOOD body shop would not put a bunch of bondo on your door. BTW, the factory uses such leveling components during their production also.
That all being said, what concerns me in these issues is that the tin knocker will invertiblely use a torch to shrink the stretched metal.. This burns the rust protection of the inside of the skin. I require that I inspect the 'blind' side to see that it was properly primed and painted.

You expectations are > too high, you are supposed to be 'made whole', not rich.... Uhhh... it didn't have a dent in it. To be 'made whole' I don't want a bunch of bondo 1.5" thick on the car. BTW, I don't want to be "made rich", I was just curious about the used door thing. The nearest dealer is two hours away, and I really don't want to fool with getting the car there and back for the body work.
