Has anyone taken the bed apart?

I've taken the bed sides off, super easy. I don't know if you can reach the place where this damage is, specifically.

Somehow, somewhere, someone gifted me a dent at the top of the passenger bed upright, over spot between gear tunnel and wheel well. I have PPF so any PDR attempt would likely need access to the back side of the sheet metal. Wondering if this area is exposed or accessible once the bed trim is removed. Before I go taking things a part (and potentially for nothing), does anyone know?

Hello unsung….
I had almost this exact situation when a push broom fell off the rack in my garage. My PDR guy, Maquette, only needed the top trim removed. But I had a few other dents so I ended up removing all three top trims on the bed. The trims remove fairly easily with a rigid plastic putty knife and some nimble fingers. The only real problem is that most or all of a small clip will pull loose from the trim. You can purchase the top trims on ebay. When I looked, they were about $300 each. so I decided to try to re-attach the clips . Of course, i had lost two of them but rivian sent some to me. If you need any, I think that i have a couple left and would be glad to send them to you. I reattached the clips with some JB Weld. Assembly was fairly easy. I will try to attach some photos. Also, I think that i made some posts in thi previously, so you may search for them. Good luck. Be patient.

It looks like you may already have the internal wall photo that you need, but I wanted to share this video series that is super helpful for all of us given Rivian's somewhat limited release of maintenance information. Monroe did a great series of videos documenting the teardown of a Gen1 R1T. You will see several useful views from inside the bed in the "Rivian's Tonneau Cover Issues" video, in particular. I found that video particularly helpful as my cover became worse and eventually broke. My v2 cover on my Gen1 makes for an entirely different and buttery smooth experience.
