Hail Damage?!?!?!?!

[Copentreygen5oh]

So this weekend I had to leave my car at my unit because I had a three day drill..... I return to a hail damanged 5.0......... I have hail damage on the hood, roof frontand rear quarter panels, and both doors. My passenger mirror is shattered and my drivers side tail light is busted. The dents are not all that deep but now my car has a textured look to the whole thing..... How much do you think it will cost to fix all this? And what will have to be done...... by the way I was almost in tears when I seen all this.......

Man that sucks just ran out in a hail storm yesterday to move my car when all the storms swept through, only 2 or 3 ways to fix hail cars, pull the dents, fill the dents, and replace panels. Doors can be skinned fairly easily and trunk and hood fenders are easy enough, but the roof quarters and pillars are another story

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

yea i was so pissed. But in reality I came out ok. My house is fine and I didnt get hurt but damn...... my baby took a beating. Im actually about to go to the insurance agent in about 10 minutes. So im about to find out.

 

[Black 93 Fox]

That sucks man! What did the insurance say on coverage?

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

I have to take it for an estament tomorrow so ill find out :-(

Man that really sucks, guess it could have been worse though. In glad you guys are all ok and I hope it works out.

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

Well thank you and I did get very lucky and I could of had it much worse. Many people have lost alot or everything so I dont really have a right to complain.

Damn that sucks, hope the insurance company does you good.

my new Honda crv got trashed last year...to weeks later and you would never know what happened, one thing to watch for: they take the liner off the inside roof...make sure all wired connections work, you have a tight fit and no rattles...good luck

 

[YELLOW42RCODE]

That sux,
Good luck with the repairs.

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

Well The dealership couldnt exactly estamate it because of someting about an insurance adjuster and whatever but he told me it'd be atleast 8,500 for the roof. He said it could be as much as 12k to 15k which is crazy..... i wonder if the insurance company woukd just give me a little exra money to build a garage haha

 

[lancealot829]

Dang that stinks man. I'm sorry. Im sure there are ways to self repair it?

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

Yea im getting a carbon fiber roof cover and new hood and doing it my self im not too keen on getting the roof cut off of my car then another one installed..... something doesnt sound good about cutting in the frame 4 different places......

If they're not too deep, I've heard of people using the Painless Dent Repair services to get them popped back out. It's supposed to work pretty well, with no repainting needed. I have no idea how long it would take them to do the whole car, though...

 

[Copentreygen5oh]

haha i got my own plan oh how to fix it.... just be looking out for pictures....... its gonna be awesome

 

[Steve491]

Unless you paid cash for it let the insurance company fix it and then SELL IT. You can buy another car dude.!
I had a Ford Ranger that was brand freeakin new and it got pelted by hail. Sold it and got a better truck. Funny thing is, it was parked outside a vacant garage.
Move on.

Dentless repair works, if there aren't too many dents.
Could be quite costly if there are. Also, you have to be able to reach the underside of the metal to do it.
