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 man that sucks. Hope to see pics of it all fixed up for the summer. At least it didn't take a window completely out and fill the car with the blowing snow we had.

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.
