Hail Damage? 3 Things to Examine After a Hail Storm

Unfortunately hail storms are just a part of life in North Texas. While it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, sometimes it just is not possible. Once the hail storm has passed you need to do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to access for any damage. But do you know what to look for? 

Mirrors

The first thing to check is your side mirrors. It is important to note that they are still there and the hail has not knocked them off. Secondly, if they are there, check their joints. Just because the 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 should be using your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting others at risk. 

Dents

Next, 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 it is a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

Glass

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

One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to aesthetics, is resale value.
