I am definately NOT pleased...

So I get off work this morning. Start brushing snow off my car, and what do I find innocently hidden underneath a mound of snow?

Apperantly a tree branch found its way onto my spoiler, cracking it then put a nice dent in the truck lid...definately not cool

The fiber glass split all the way through to the other side

[sheepdog]

oh noes! Will insurance cover it? or are they going to try the "act of god" excuse?

[badbasser98]

ouch, sorry to see that happen mang... Hope all goes well with the repairs.

PS, sorta glad all you guys are getting the snow. I'm not ready for it yet.. It gonna be 58* here on Wed. :grin:

insurance will cover it but I have to pay a nice $300 deductable

[Wiscon_Mark]

honestly, 300 isn't that bad. 500 is what I have to pay for anything :-?

[Huffer]

Go spoilerless. $300 is way more than a spoiler is worth, painted and fitted.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Yeah but the trunk lid is also dented he said. Get an estimate for spoiler and trunk replaced and repainted and all that, get the check, and then go find it cheaper/prepainted maybe. I'd be ticked off too!

[auspex]

ok...$300 deductible? doesn't sound too bad, BUT!!!

have you looked at getting a $0 deductible? anyone?

this is far less expensive than you'd think, maybe $15 more a month. Depending on your history it can be a little less/more, but you'd be surprised.

You generally will have to go get your car inspected by the insurance co. first to make sure you aren't ripping them off, but it's totally possible.

shit happens and it's hard to afford. check it out.

i've heard from a lot of insurance agents that deductibles are the biggest joke in their business, no one really knows how inexpensive it is to deal without one.

anyway.....

full coverage with a $250 comprehensive, 500 collision, and unlimited windshield repair for $65 a month. Without windshield coverage it would've been $60, but with the junk they put down on the roads here it was well worth the money.

[LeeLee D]

Found more damage from the same branch, hidden under snow. The column between the LS rear corner window and rear window has a fat dent in it and a smaller one on the quarter panel...argh

Were you parked under a tree?
