Hail Damage

Damn dude, it was pouring pretty hard and then it started to hail about 3-4 mm diameter hail stones...

Considering Subaru everything is pretty weak, I wonder who will be filing insurance this week for this act of God.

I'm honestly not sure how strong our cars are to hail like this - but so far, looks like no damage.

Had those size hail stones last weekend and went out to check on the suby. Thankfully as thin-skinned the car is it held up with no marks.

That's some good news, I was fearing a bunch of dimples. We'll see what happens when I wash my car this weekend though, lol. Might be a different story. Hopefully it's fine

We had some insane amounts of hail last night around midnight here in the North Bay. Pulled the Subie into the carport for fear of paint damage, but by the time it was done the hail had already stopped. Also, a lightning strike blew up our TV in a bright blue flash and killed it...

That's hail. It was hailing while I was on 880 north passing Dixon Landing Exit. People slowing down for nothing
Btw, I drive a RWD

I thought insurace would cover hail damage not, "acts of god" is not covered isn't it? At least in most warranties, although of course insurance is different.
