How Large of Hail Can a Car Withstand?

[LaylaLynn]

Hail possesses considerable weight and falls from the sky with significant kinetic energy, which can cause damage to a car's windshield and paint surface. Here are the relevant details: 1. Smaller-sized hail: Hail no larger than two centimeters, about the size of soybeans, generally has minimal impact and won't harm the car. Vehicles have a certain level of impact resistance, and in most cases, they will remain unharmed unless the car's body or glass is of poor quality. 2. Larger-sized hail: Hail the size of coins, some as large as eggs, or even tennis balls, carries substantial weight. Falling from a height, such hail can severely damage the car, leading to shattered glass, dents, and other body damage.
