Re: Minor Body Damange - Need Help
You have just adequately demonstrated the value of ROCK SLIDERS over "step sides".
If you want it perfect, take it to a perfectionist and pay them their worth.
If you want it adequate, then see if you can yank on that piece of sheet metal with a body working suction cup, or get behind it from inside the wheel well and pry it back enough to get it out of the way of the door. If you want to experiment with either the glue-on or drill-in body metal pullers, that's fine, but then you'll likely be patching a small hole in the paint with some touch up... again... which is fine.
Then, get rock sliders.
Even the OEM versions would have saved you, and they don't stick out at all. If you're carrying kayaks, though, you'll be happier with a set that stick out enough that you can actually step up on them to lash boats to your rack.
The FJC is pre-drilled and threaded for bolt-in sliders, which is phenomenal. All the different designs out there stab into the same holes.
