I'll take a look when it drys off and see if there is any damage. I suspect there will be.

I was caught in a hail strom about 2 mths. ago. I just knew I was gonna have damage. It was so loud it remined me of a fiire fight. To top it off I live in a National Forest and could not find a tree to get under. After I got home the only damage was a chip in the windshield. I hope you have the same luck.

What hit you, an ice pick?
I would not think hail would chip glass, a big chunk of ice might break it and break your head as well, but hail chip it?

I have been in much worse than that, and I have had no damage. Unless there was bigger that the video did not capture I would think you will be fine.

The hail didn't look big enough to me to dent a Crossfire. Now if you had been in a Kia, that would be a different story.

You need hail about half the size of a golf ball to start doing damage. If you were hit with just the pea-size hail that I saw in the video, I doubt you'll have any damage at all.

Looks like I dodged a bullet. Last night when it stopped raining I went outside and inspected for damage and didn't see anything. Today when it was fully dried I checked and only found a few dings. I'll take that.

Paintless dent removal. More than likely your insurance coverage will handle it. Usually your deductable for comprehensive insurance is fairly low... Like, $50.

Glad it didn't damage your car, I cringe every time it is cought outside when they say hail is coming.

We don't use the "H" word at my house. We had a record setting H storm here as I was signing papers on a brand new truck. Poor ram didn't stand a chance. Nor did the dealership, roof collapse no windows left all through town ect.

I managed to dodge some today as our house had some hail today. I took the coupe to lunch (which sits outside my house) and only hit minor rain. Whew!

West is correct, it's a comp claim and the cost depends on your deductible. I too have used the Dent Wizards etc and they do excellent work.
