Is it necessary to repair a car damaged by hail?
1 Answers
Dents caused by hail require repair. Ordinary hail can also damage a car because hail has a certain weight and falls from the sky with significant potential energy, which can cause trauma to the car's windshield and paint. However, the extent of damage depends on the size of the hail. Smaller hailstones, no more than two centimeters in diameter (about the size of a soybean), generally have little impact and won't harm the car. Cars have a certain level of impact resistance, and in most cases, they won't be damaged unless the car's body or glass is of poor quality. Additional information: Vehicles damaged by hail can file claims under different insurance policies depending on the situation. If the entire car is damaged, coverage under comprehensive insurance with additional no-deductible clauses will provide compensation. If only the glass (excluding the sunroof) is damaged, a separate glass breakage insurance policy must be purchased to receive compensation.
