Thumbs down Rear ended problem areas to look for.

Got rear ended by a PT cruiser
Got hit at about 30 to 35 mph it was a hard it.

It only looks like minor damage for the exterior.
Rear bumper will need to be replaced since the plastic is permanently deformed/ creased.

Air bags did not go off thank goodness since it was a hit from the back.

It would be a great help if those that have been rear ended could post things to look for that the clams adjuster might not know about/would not notice.

Dude that sucks! At least it was only the rear end.
Just take it to Norm's body shop behind Damson Honda. They do all the S repairs in town.

Have the body shop check to see if your tail lights are still sealed. I had a minor driver's side impact above the rear wheel, didn't think that it might have done any damage to the tail light. Well guess what, after getting my car out of the body shop and washing it I had some water inside the light. Better safe than sorry. Also resealing taill lights is a biatch!

Thanks guys for the info I would not have though to check the tail lights to see if they were still sealed.

I am going buy the Jerry Damson Honda today to talk to a buddy of mine that works there (he is a body guy)


I am fine by the way

Man that sucks, Mark. Glad you're OK.

Didn't do any damage to the speakers, did it?
