Nice caliper covers, but then the hail came

[waffle-cat]

4 week old truck (I am never going back to a car)

DFW Area (specifically Keller)

Wednesday 4/28
Spent 3 hours on Wednesday fitting MPG Custom Caliper covers. 1 1/2 hours fitting the first one and the remainder to fit the other 3.
Finished at 7:45pm CT.

8:15pm CT. The storm arrives, with it 3" inch hail, and dents EVERY panel on the truck. Smashes the panoramic sunroof; and turns my pride and joy into a mobile swimming pool.


Thursday 4/29
The powder coating company calls, to tell me the (now Barron Red) tow hooks are ready to collect. FFS!

No inspection date yet
No hire cars available in DFW

Smile with me please

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I live in the Keller area also and thank goodness that my Laramie sport was in the garage! Sounded like someone with sledgehammers pounding on my roof!

 

[Scap]

My heart hurts seeing this.
Sorry you have to deal with the aftermath.

 

[Lufty]

Unbelievable! I hope you get it fixed back to like new.

 

[Zig10]

Holy crap! I hope your insurance makes you whole quickly. That is a royal mess.

You know, it never occurred to me how susceptible these panoramic sunroofs are in a hail storm. We don't get many of them here in the mid-atlantic. I have them on both of my vehicles, and I didn't want it on either one. This just gives me another reason to hate them.

Oh man I would be sick. Sorry to see that and good luck with what you're fixing to go through getting it fixed or replaced.

 

[CMil527]

wow that's horrible... sorry to see/hear about this, hopefully they get her fixed quick. on the bright side the caliper covers look great!

 

[McHouck]

OMG! I just threw up in my mouth! So sorry... they total it?

I'm north east of you in Frisco, I heard them say golf ball and ping pong size hail and I was off to the parking garage at the college. Went through that with my last truck, f that again.
Buying one of these

There were people in my neighborhood that put blankets and pool noodles on their cars as I left for the parking garage

That really sucks! I'm not that far away from Keller, but luckily escaped any hail. I just got my truck on 3/11 and unfortunately have to park it outside and constantly worry about it......springtime in Texas is NO joke!! Hope you get it sorted out....

 

[VectorZ]

This is why I live where the air hurts my face. Sorry bro...

 

[jth877]

My brother in law gets similar large hail storms in Montana. He and throws a mattress on the top of any car outside when the warning happens. It works.

Good luck with the repairs. Pdr is really great if the paint isn't cracked. Can't even tell anything happened.

 

[Glenn54]

Wow! That is terrible. Wonder if there is any chance the insurance company will total it? If not, I hope they get it repaired back to like new condition. Good luck.

 

[redneck]

Most likely totaled

 

[z0n3]

Oh man... still the temp tags

 

[Hydroblueguy]

I’d say it’s totaled, if it was mine I’d push them to total it! Or have them pay you out, buy it back for 15,000-20,000$ fix the moon roof and drive it! Don’t have to worry about door dents at that point! Good luck and sorry for your loss

 

[redneck]

it depends on how wet the interior got water & electronics dont mix may be in for constant repairs also what kind of title are they going to issue total, rebuildable total, salavage... also it will be recorded on car fax so... if they do fix it make sure they pay you A LOT of $$$ for depreation so if you ever go to trade it in it will be worth $10,000 less than KBB book value. & yes you dont have to take their 1st offer haggle with them. my 1st offer on depreation was $1600 i worked on them for 6 weeks & they paied me $9800 in the end

 

[OldMarine]

It will be totaled. Pretty sure of it. I'm an adjuster, and did a lot of hail claims. One like yours I would total. Good luck.

I've heard of Rams getting bricked for having the wind shield tinted and getting water into the driver side control module or passenger side dashboard and toasting the computer and wiring under there. Be a shame if that happened and they totalled the truck out.
