I may have the same problem...i keep my camaro in a warehouse that has a leaking/rusted roof. I had plans to move it since it got worse but was not able to move it in time. I just hope when i get there monday the roof hasn't caved on it. It has been off the road for a year, no insurance either.

That happened to a friend of mine af few years ago. He had just gotten a shelter put up, it was 2 weeks old. We had a snow storm with wet heavy snow of about 18". The shelter collapsed on his 70 Chevelle. It damaged the tops of the fenders front and rear, the A pillar and the roof and blew out the rear window. The company wouldn't cover it at all. He was not happy at all.
Good luck with your car!

Yeh i got an update from my dad and he said he went out and looked at it a little bit. he said amazingly enough most of the metal poles missed my car, but one did hit the driver rear fender pretty good. he said there is a fairly good size dent there now . i will now more than once i get home. i will also take pics too. even if the damage is not bad, im still pretty upset at myself. i should have just moved it outside and had the snow sit on it. thats what i did the last snow storm and it was fine, so i figured the garage would have been fine for this storm too. sadly i was wrong

Dang dude that sucks. I would die if it was my car..Relax..its a car it can be fixed, talk to your insurance companies (home and auto) and see wha they can work out. If somehow nothing can be done, most on here can walk you though how to fix it bro!!

I can straighten that stuff out easy. But you might not wanna do it through the insurance being the year it is they might total it, doesnt take much to total a 96. We can go down to the junkyard and get a windshield for $60 and pay my glass guy to put it in.
