Yep. dang

If it did crack the underlying fiberglass mat, what I'd do is scuff the back of the panel, apply some resin and embed a piece of fiberglass cloth to reinforce it. Then you're going to have to sand, fill and repaint the outside. Not a fun job, it'll be messy. If the panel is removable, do that so you can lay it flat so you don't have resin dripping on you. I crunched a fiberglass cab step on my '99 Ford, and managed to repair it. Had to farm out the painting and re-application of the bedliner tread material, so it wasn't cheap.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
