Did you have full coverage insurance? If you have comprehensive, that would fall under natural damage and comprehensive will cover it. If you have liability only then they wont cover the damage.

could've been a whole lot worse man, be thankful! that does suck though.
windshield shouldnt be more then $150 with a warranty. quarters, i guess you can just bondo them. it's really not that bad.

yeh i have full coverage, so hopefully it is covered. yeh trust me i know my car aint no show car, but it was still nice. i mean it has the normal scratches and stuff, but no real dents. no damage at all, until now. i mean i daily drive it, but not anymore. i cant and wont drive my car looking like that. i drive it everyday except when it snows and there is salt on the roads. but dang i hope i get this fixed before spring.
thanks for all the support guys. o yeh and it took roughly 3 hours to get it all out and into my driveway. If you have full coverage then you are set man. It is covered under you comprehensive and all you have to do is pay your deductible. Sad thing is...you still have that deductible which in most cases is $500.00. Someone slashed my tires not too long ago and my insurance was gonna cover that. I found a deal that was better than the 500 deductible though so I decided not to claim it. Your good man, GL on the repairs and I wanna see pics when its all patched up!

yeh idk if im going to do it through insurance or not. there is a guy on here that said he will do body work for me and get his glass guy to get me a windshield and all put in. so i am talking to him to see what can be done. thanks for the support though. im not a very happy person right now for obvious reasons. and to make it worse were supposed to get another 1 1/2 feet of snow on top of the 3 feet we just got. good thing the car is outside now and will just have snow on it lol
On the passenger side you can get in there with a body hammer from the inside and straighten that dent out pretty decently, then a thin coat of bondo on top of that. On the drivers side, you cant get to that area from the inside, but you can get a PDR guy to pop it out for you. I had to have a PDR guy fix an area on my drivers side, it was about that deep. He got it pretty straight, and then a thing layer of bondo on top and it fixed it right up.

Do you need new hatch glass I can't tell from the pic if it's busted. If you do I have a blue Formula hatch with good glass you can have, I just need to check and see if the defroster plugs are intact. I'm near Baltimore, PM me.
