Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Suggestion

My PDR guy uses a combination of internal pressure, when access is available, and a "pulling" technique where a rod it bonded (I think it is hot-melt glue) and the ding is pulled out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last night a nasty storm dropped some very large hail onto my C4. Dents into my hood, front and back quarter panels, plus the roof and sunroof. The stones size was about an inch to an inch and a half and fell for 20 minutes. It's a great time to be laid off right now .... oh yeah on the drive home today the brake wear sensor went off too. So ... What is the best way to deal with this when it comes to the insurance company? Anyone been through this before? Someone please send me some beer.

POST 3Original post

+1 on PDR. I have had amazing results from my favorite local PDR shop. The lower cost might mean that insurance would cover more of the bill than on the traditional body-shop route. My PDR guy uses a combination of internal pressure, when access is available, and a "pulling" technique where a rod it bonded (I think it is hot-melt glue) and the ding is pulled out. Then fine tuned. Good luck.

POST 4Original post

PDR works great - I had an UrS4 that got caught in a CO hail storm and it was severely damaged. After the repair you couldn't tell it had been hit. Need a beer? Make the drive up to Louisville - I keep a keg in my garage next to my P-car.

POST 5Original post

are you insured? call them and just see what they suggest.... BTW w- THAT SUCKS! sorry man

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes I am insured. They just asked whom I wanted to take the car too.

POST 7Original post

OIC - wow... I would be baffled - the PDR seems like a good start, really a bummer, and sorry to hear the job thng too

POST 8Original post

Paintless dent removal can be great, but won't work if there is damage on or very near creases near the edges of the hood or trunk. Can you post pics - we can get a better idea of the extent of the damage. Hail damage sucks big time. Good luck!

I was caught in a hail storm once. The hail put alot of chips in my windshield and dents in my hood and roof. Not the 996 though, however the insurance company pays for that repair.
