Parking Garage trauma

[podmed]

Hello,

I made the mistake of driving my '14 Raptor into a city parking garage. The roof of the truck hit a loose pipe. I'm gonna need a $2500 repair (new roof with paint).

My thought was to fine a Carbon fiber roof. Anyone know of a source???

Thanks.

Wasn't there a low clearance bar at the entrance. I believe most codes require them, because it have seen them in nearly every parking garage I have been to, and I have been to a lot. You might be able to get the city to pay for it, or at least insurance might.

Yeah, most garages and drive through's have test bar...... I believe it is liability requirement

Carbon fiber roof? what so you can have a 15000.00 repair?

If it hit a loose pipe, the garage should be paying for the repair. I haven't seen or heard of carbon fiber roofs for the f150.

Did your antenna hit the pipe before the roof? How fast were you driving? It's your business, but I for one am curious how this happened. Enquiring minds want to know. ;-)

Like stated above, I use my antenna to gauge when I use parking garages, if anything in that garage hung down lower than the safety/clearance bar at the entrance, the parking garage is liable for your damage.

Ouch! That's why I stay away from parking garages.

I have had similar issues, never actually hit anything.. But have had several anxiety attacks from parking garages at hotels in my Leveled 2013 FX4... I am even more worried about my Raptor.
