Hail storm - Pennsylvania

[BBQ Bandit]

Started thread .., not to hijack the other thread.

Happened Aug 1st... just found the damage when removing car cover last removed a few weeks ago.
The ironic thing... caught the hailstorm on video... hammering the house, truck, and car.
Have contacted insurance company... was hit pretty hard.


Will post if able to locate a video upload.

The Genny was in the background - under the car cover, next to the orange truck.

Wow, the hail damaged it while it was underneath the car cover? That sucks; sorry to hear that. How much damage was there?

Looks like 75-100 dimples... hood/roof/trunk.
Fortunately no glass/headlight damage.
Have appointments with PDR guys tomorrow.


Might be able to see the reflections of the paint 'ripple' across the dimples....

That sounds about the going rate. Make sure you go to a good place. Not everyone does a great job at pdr. There are some true master at ot out there

Finally got her home from the PDR shop. Back in shape once again.
Its a little un-nerving seeing her thru the rear view (on the trailer).

Was raining all day...

Looks like they did a real nice job. While I was in SC last summer, we had a fairly bad hail storm just south of me and the local PDR guy worked OT on a number of cars. I had him remove a shopping car ding and it was amazing to watch how skillful and quick he was with his tools. $40 later and ding gone.
