Sorry to hear that

My suggestion is to use a paintless dent repair facility to repair the damage.

A long time ago, a hail storm hit dad's car and left 100 dents. Over time, the car repaired itself from the expansion and contraction of the sheet metal. It sounds crazy but that's the truth.

Sorry to hear that Big T, I guess it was from the storm that came through Texas this weekend. We had quarter size hail right outside of Houston on Sat, luckily my car was in the garage. I agree with most, paintless dent removal can massgage those dings out to look new.

Damn, that's rough Big T, but everyone is right on with the paintless dent removal. My buddy does this all over the midwest and he is like an artist with his tools. I bought my first 260e with a whole lot of hail damage and by the time he wasa finished you could not tell it ever had a dent or ding. And this car was covered!

Don't sweat it, it can be repaired!
