Re: hail damage
That is a bummer for sure, have you got a quote for the damages?

Re: hail damage
That stinks. My Mach 1 usually is spared from hail (garage), but my other car is always at risk. I hate hail!
Good luck getting it fixed

Re: hail damage
Get the car fixed by a paintless dent repair company. I had hail damage worse on my car, and had it fixed for a very reasonable price, and there was no painting involved. None of the hail damage was visible after the repair. Sadly, a hurricane (Gustav) showed up a few months later, a rendered all of that work moot.

Re: hail damage
After reading this, I immediately went online and ordered a custom car cover (Covercraft) for my new 2011 GTI. I got the one with maximum hail protection. I don't like using them, but the peace of mind of having it on when very severe thunderstorms come through the area is worth it.

Re: hail damage
Don't look as bad as what we had a few weeks ago....2 inch diameter (some bigger) blowing out back windows and breaking off mirrors. Some of the dents were deep enough to break the paint. Most of the estimates I've seen on some of the worst cars were around $7-$8k. If you don't have a ton of them PDR is the way to go.
