Default effing hail storm

So i woke up at 2:30am to hear my windows being broke out of my house by one of the worst hail storms ive ever been in. The entire time i was thinking about my 2 month old jeep that i foolishly left out of the garage. It wasnt supposed to rain or anything which is kinda crazy...just a freak storm i guess cuz it only lasted about 20 min. Anyways the cut throat insurance company only approved me for $4000 and it looks like its gonna be 6800 in damages. The weatherman is now on my hit list lol.

Ps on a lighter note i finally got my 500 mopar bucks haha...bittersweet i guess

Definitely need some pics if you can. I often wonder what I would do if faced with a hail damaged Jeep. Pretty sure I could live with dents on any panel that would get touched from above. If the soft top is on, wouldnt that basically be the hood only?

$6800 would go a LONG ways towards some neat mods. The metal appears to be soft enough on these things that dimples may just heal up the next time the sun shines enough.

I feel for you. We got baseball size hail on Sunday evening. Luckily everything was inside except our RV.

Default Wow!

That must have been some hail storm. Just last month, I was stuck in traffic when a hail storm hit. Couldn't do anything but pull over as the nearest gas station refuge was miles away.

Long story short, my adjuster quoted me repair for my hood, cowl, a/c condenser, and a repaint to blend it all in (up to the windshield frame). Damage came back at $1,500, and they cut me a check for $1k ($500 deductable). In all honesty, you can only see two little dings, so I plan on putting it to the bank to paydown faster.

My adjuster was cool b/c the condenser had a couple of rock dings in it from normal road use. He said, "You want a new one of these?" I said, "Sure"... "Ok..." he said.

Anywho good luck and let us know how things work out...

Check out google for some methods for removing hail dents yourself using a blow dryer ect... Some of them just might work for you

I heard y'all got hit pretty hard. We got nothing yesterday. Not a friggin' drop. Did get some tonight and it's about to start up again. But considering how bad it's been, I'll take anything at this point.

BTW, I feel for y'all up there in Nebraska. Have a bunch of buddies at the CWS and they all have said it's been pretty frightening.
