Can a Car Be Damaged by Hail?
1 Answers
Yes. Hail falling from high altitude carries significant potential energy and has a certain destructive force, which can cause severe damage to a car's windshield and paint surface. Generally, hail the size of a lychee can already damage a car. If the hailstones are larger, they can break the car's glass, cause dents on the body, and other damages. It is best for car owners to take preventive measures in advance to avoid losses. Methods to protect a car from hail include: 1. Park the car in a garage or indoor parking lot. 2. Use a car hail protection cover. 3. Cover the car with a quilt to prevent hail damage: Since quilts are elastic, they can cushion some of the impact force of the hail, acting like a protective layer for the car.
