That sucks! I am guessing by the damage to the windshield that the sheet metal didn't fare too well either. We just missed the big hail last weekend at the cabin.

Hood both fenders most of the roof.
I am having the hood replaced both fenders repaired and roof will get PDR in front of the rack.
Windshield and vent visors and call it good.
I am putting a cage/basket on the roof rack so will not see that anyway.

That Sucks! I'm glad it was just the vehicles and no one got stuck outside in that. Post up some closer pics if you can for us. I'm curious to see how it fared vs my old Bronco in its last hailstorm.

that sucks! i'm glad we dont get that crap here. hail is a rare sight. also glad i have a garage lol

i still have to replace my damn windshield every year, but thats due to the gravel they put on the road in the winter for traction.

good luck on the repairs!

I feel for you - mine was damaged by quarter sized hail a couple of years ago. My insurance company ended up totaling it. I bought it back and pocketed the change. Since it is white it does not look too bad, I replaced the mirrors, taillights and windshield and all is well. The roof looks like somebody beat it with a golf club so I try not to look at it
