Rivian Position Statement: Paintless Dent Repair

Rivian has released a position statement on paintless dent repair (PDR).

Per the Rivian Repair Guidelines: "PDR techniques can be used on both steel and aluminum substrates, though, each may have limitations. For specific limitations refer to the appropriate vehicle's Material Matrix."

Rivian also stresses the use of a 30x power magnifying glass before and after the repair to check for micro-cracking of the paint. Rivian states: "If micro-cracking is present, the panel must be sanded down to the substrate and refinished."

Always restore corrosion protection with approved materials following OEM vehicle-specific repair information
