Can I fix a Megane Cabrio's door?

I have a 2006 Renault Megane cabriolet. Last month an idiot in an old 4x4 reversed into the passenger side back panel (behind the door) creating what can only be described as a meteor strike of a dent! Would a reputable body repair shop be able to "beat out" the dent, or is the panel in question reinforced from the inside and not accessible?

This is what a repair shop has told me... or is he just worried about further damage?! I really would appreciate an honest answer to this dilemma which is becoming a total insurance nightmare!

I have a reappearing dent in my Peugeot!

I have a 151 Peugeot 5008 that I got last June a year old. The car had a dent on the boot just above the number plate. The dealer got a man to push the dent out and it looked really well. In December I noticed the dent had reappeared. The dealer wants the same guy to push this dent out. I am happy with this, however, I am concerned that in six months time the dent will reappear. Is there anything else that can be done to strengthen the door from behind. I was talking to the dent guy and he seems a bit worried about doing anything from behind (I suppose from a warranty point of view).

Thanks
