3 weeks old and off to the shop

Hey all been waiting and crying all this time and it finally arrives. Two weeks on the rood and a lady passes me and flips up this roof shingle Here's the damage. These werent the pics I had in mind to show off The adjuster thinks it only gonna cost $1700 anyone have any clues. Off subject I was never given the option to get solar panels for the pano roof. Can I get it from the dealer as a option while they are repairing it?

I know how that feels, Mercedes Benz of El Dorado hills ran my damn cls into a curb while up at service. All of the 2nd week of ownership, should have made them replace the car as it only had 200 miles on it. Only problem was it had all the options i wanted and i was starting school, couldnt be carless

I can see the scratches on the hood but was the Pano roof cracked too?

Sorry Tuffy.

The E-Klasse Gods are pissed off mightily.

Good luck with your ride.

$1700 sounds just about right for repair and repainting of the hood and blending of the fender. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
