Repairing Tree Damage to Roof, A Pillar and Hood

joyous · Apr 23, 2022

I recently had some damage from a tree falling on my 2015 Genesis sedan. I was hoping that someone here can help me understand what I should expect in terms of repairs. I have already filed an insurance claim but body shops here are booked out for two weeks. In the meantime I'd like to learn more about what the best practices may be for repairing this damage. Damage:
Dented roof cant rail, minor paint damage, driver side
Broken roof molding / trim between moonroof and cant rail, no leaks, driver side
Dented crease on the hood, no paint damage, driver side
Dented A pillar driver side, no paint damage, driver side
Dented front quarter panel, no paint damage, driver side

Any help / advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm no expert but it looks superficial. It looks like they might be able to pop those dents and hey atleast its the trim and not the glass right

Yes, sheer dumb luck its not the glass. I am most worried about the roof cant rail. The pictures may not make it obvious but it is definitely bent or bowed down a little and I don't know if that can be popped back up. The bend is right at the point where the metal is stamped / folded down to carry the moonroof.

Also, any idea what those trim pieces are and whether they can be replaced?
