Over the years I have filed 4 hail claims on my vehicle. I have $100 comprehensive deductible, so even though I have had over $40K in damage I have only paid $400 bucks. Seems like nothing to me. The issue is the annoyance of getting hail repair, dealing with a piece of crap rental car, etc.

Well I decided to change insurance companies to get a better deal and I was dinged on every quote for too many comprehensive claims. Between my car, my wife's and my daughters, we have had like 10 claims.

So now I have this beast for my new Raptor. No ice will ever touch its ****** paint. $600, shipped from right up the road from me. 30 min for initial setup, 8 min to put on the truck each time, about 15-20 to fill it up. I got the largest size because the owner said although the Raptor is not a long bed, it is taller than most trucks.

That Corolla is my wife's rental car while her car is in the shop after my daughter wrecked it. That is exactly what I am driving for weeks every time the hail comes through.
so youre that weird neighbour with the balloon on his truck.

Kidding - hope it helps.

Honestly, I'm just amazed that there aren't more comments about the combination of an $80k vehicle, a $100 deductible, and ten insurance claims. That's bound to be get you kicked off a policy.

I’m kinda worried for all the runners and walkers now. Looks like hail that size could take you out or send you to the ED.

So I grew up in Plano and when these storms came through just about every year, I would go outside with my dad and put cardboard boxes under a car cover, it sucks! We had a 3 car garage but there was always 2 Corvettes and my mother's car in there.

What is that bubble material made out of that hail won't punch through it?

Good luck with your bubble!

I think it's like a bouncy house. Hail will damage hard surfaces that don't give. I would bet it just bounces off that thing.
