Got my car into the garage just minutes before the hail started. Wasn't too bad here but I heard there was one inch hail in some places.

No hail at our house . Daughter was at Page and Lindbergh, lost back glass and sunroof both were perforated, front glass was cracked. She is OK.

Didn't seem to get that bad or any hail at 270 and Manchester. Plus my S is garaged. My jeep is the one I park outside.

Couple of my friends cars got hit hard though.

tennis ball size hail here. car is ok, was in the garage. truck is not i was leaving work when i got caught in it. i have a picture of a smaller stone that was going on when i left work, then i have a video of the second round of hail i encountered on the way home. i started the video about half way through but the beginning of the video you can hear the really bad boings and bonks. insurance company is coming out sometime this week to see what kind of damage i have. i'm also going to a body shop for a quote so insurance doesn't screw me over

hail storm
link is safe. i promise.

Sorry to see & hear James/PktChge, but glad you weren't in the S - hate to think what that would've done to the soft top

Hello all. I can unfortunately confirm that softball and grapefruit size hail goes right through the soft top.
Not a pretty site!
Met with adjuster today and he stopped adding up the damage when we exceeded $14,000.
The S2k is a total loss. Unfortunately I think it's for the best. I hate to think what it would have looked like after repair attempts were made.
