Thanks. .I know there are lots of FTE guys in the Austin area and was wondering if anybody else got it. Man. .baseball sized.. I'm glad nothing happened to your rig! I'm actually surprised none of the windows on my topper didn't break.. my led tailight on the topper did though.

Hail
Howdy ya'll. Just listening to what ya'll are talking about. I have a 05 F250 CC, LB, 4X4 that was hit by baseball size hail a year ago. I had dents in the hood, roof, both pass. doors, and the bed. No broken glass but I don't know how. I was dropping a trailer off when the storm hit. Bout beat me to death before I could get the truck in dry . Allstate paid $1677.00 and they fixed it in one day. No parts were replaced and no paint. You cannot tell it was ever dented. I live in western Kentucky, See ya'll.

I got caught in a storm outside of Albuquerque about five years ago in my '75 Corvette. Golf-ball size. I won't even try to list all of the parts that had to be fixed or replaced, but here is a partial: windshield, front bumper, hood (patched), passenger side T-Top... I will say that fiberglass held up much better than I figured.

We had a pretty bad one here in Houston about a year and a half ago. My wife was out shopping in her new VW Beetle (turbodiesel of course), and it got pounded by golf-ball and up sized hail. Blew out the back windshield, and had a couple dozen dents. But the body shop had their paintless dent guy pull almost all of them out and I've never seen trace of them since. There were only a couple that creased and needed "real" body work. The car was only a couple months old at the time, and it looked (and still looks) factory new. The key is the skill of the paintless dent guy.
