How to Inspect for Vehicle Hail Damage

We are approaching spring in North Texas, this unfortunately means hail storms. While it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, something it just is not possible. It is important to do a thorough inspection of your vehicles once the hail storm has passed to access for any damage. But what do you look for? 

Glass

Start be looking over the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Check your windshield, then check your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could impair your vision while driving. Also, if it is cracked enough, it could shatter while you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

Mirrors

Next, check your side mirrors. Are they still there, or did the hail knock them off? If they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they won’t come off at the next bump you take. Just because a mirror is still attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting yourself and others at risk. 

Dents

Finally, check the body of your vehicle for dents. Dents from hail can be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all sizes, big and small, so if there is a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

If you have thoroughly inspected your vehicle and have found indicators of dents, do not worry about it.
