hail damage

svt to 370z · 07-06-2012, 12:51 AM

So last sunday I was headed to the lake erie islands, 90 not a cloud in the sky. Right when we got back to dock a massive storm blew in next thing we knew it was hailing golf ball sized hail. I never even drive my car in the rain, when the hail stopped my car looks like the surface of a golf ball, dimples everywhere. I filed a claim and am getting it looked at tomorrow. Has anyone had this happen what can I expect?

I had this happen 3 weeks ago. Tennis ball sized hail hit my car. Fortunately it was only 1 dozen dimples and none hit the creases. Get an appt. With a pdr guy and see what he tells you.

Yeap, it happened to me once, the car was like 6 months old. Got the check from the insurance and traded the car.

yeah they told me to see a pdr guy, it was estimated at 3g in damage but he said when they go to fix it will probably go up from there.

You talkin bout me??? I never said the size of the hail that hit my Z in the thread and no one asked. I did mention my 08 altima got hit with golfball sized hail and it never got damaged.

so my perfect flawless Z has hail damage.

Trying to make me look bad cuz you don't like me but... you're wrong bruh.

That sucks. I had bad hail damage many years ago on a three month old car. $7500 worth
