Sad Day For My 2011 GT :(

My insurance covers all the damage under the "comprehensive" part. Just have to pay the deductible - but it could be 2 months before I get it fixed because of the back log at body shops around here.

Look into a good PDR shop nearby and they'll save you a ton of money and the hassle of repainting body panels if need be. If there are any spots that the paint is damaged, get the paint done after the fact. Less filler needed.

I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber as a daily driver and it got caught in a bad hailstorm here in Austin last year - golf ball sized hail and bigger. I swear the car must have had 2000 dents in it, and every body panel had some sort of damage - I thought it was totaled for sure. But I contacted a PDR guy here in Austin I had used for my Mustang a year or so before and he said as soon as my insurance company looked at the Caliber to bring it by his shop. I did just that, and dropped the car off the day the adjuster looked at it, and a week later he had taken every dent out of the car. It literally looked like new again. I thought it would be impossible to get all the dents out; the car has a sunroof so I figured he couldn't get to the areas up in the roof, and I was wrong.
Even the adjuster was shocked that the car was completely fixed with PDR.
So I *highly* recommend PDR for hail damage - even if you have to wait. While I know I'd freak if my GT/CS was dinged up with hail damage it would certainly make me feel better knowing I most likely wouldn't have to have the car cut up and body panels replaced and repainted. So hang in there, they'll have your baby looking new again soon.

problem is. if the hail is big enough to dent a car, it could probably kill you or crack your skull pretty easily while your trying to cover the car.

I really doubt that paintless is an option with that much damage.
I feel for you...I got sick when my olladys Accord got %6500 worth of hail damage last year. I cant imagine the stang, I would be sick. I wonder why our insurance has went up the last year LMAO with her 6300 claim and my 25500 claim on the Bullitt OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks bad, I hope you can get it fixed to like new. It really brings back the memories of when my garage kept '90 5.0 got caught in a hail storm while on the Interstate many years ago.

Hail damage is a b*tch.
One thing, semi-seriously, I wonder if it might be faster with the dents all over it? Think about a golf ball with all the dimples in it, the make the ball fly farther because the dimples actually reduce the drag on the ball as it goes through the air...

Well it was a great month and half with my brand new, spotless, Black 5.0.
A big hail storm hit in Calgary, AB (Canada) yesterday: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/St...993/story.html
And of course my parking spot downtown is uncovered and my car now has over 100 dents on it from the golf ball sized hail:
The cellphone pics don't quite show all the damage, but you get the idea. Not thrilled about how long it will take to get it fixed either - 2 to 3 month waits possibly at body shops because of the number of cars damaged yesterday.
I know this isn't really an informative post, but I need to vent.......

Hopefully the repairs go quickly and painlessly.
