Yes. Hail falling from high altitudes carries significant potential energy and possesses considerable destructive force, which can cause severe damage to a car's windshield and paint. Generally, hail the size of a lychee can already damage a vehicle. If the hailstones are larger, they can break the car's glass and create dents on the body. It is advisable for car owners to take preventive measures in advance to avoid such losses. Methods to protect a car from hail include: Parking the car in a garage or indoor parking lot. Using a car hail protection cover. Covering the car with a quilt to prevent hail damage: Since quilts are elastic, they can absorb some of the impact force of the hail, acting like a protective layer for the car.
