Also look at your rub rail VERY CLOSE because they can end up looking like a small ball peen hammer hit them all over the place. We have inspected many hail claims for customers and the Insurance companies.

Bow light and any aluminum and all plastic & aluminum vents to look at as well. Really every thing including the trailer needs to be inspected even for slight dents and or more.
Thanks John, I'll make sure to take a closer look in those areas !

This is what I'm hoping for !

FWIW...
I posted a picture on FB some time back of all of my cars/etc. stuffed panel to panel in my barn in prep for a hail storm.
Pat from AT told me to move the boat outside and stick everything his ATs won't dent.

depends on the size of the hail for damage to none -- 2 inch hale compared to softball size hail is a huge difference.

We have had the softball size hail in the past. Nothing faired to well in those direct hits for 10 mins straight.

Right. When your car gets hail damage INSIDE the garage.....softball sized hail doesn't stop when it hits a roof. It comes right on thru, and dents the carpet.

There were metal buildings that got hit so hard they were torn down after the softball hail storm in Wylie last year. Hundreds of holes all over the building, knocked the lights off the ceiling and demolished everything inside.
