FYI, I'm hoping not too many have been affected.
Dealer bulletin this morning confirms that many vehicles that were offloaded from the Tiger awaiting transport have been hit by hail, mine included.
Assessors are working through the yard.

This was my greatest fear whilst sitting at the docks (on both sides of the world).

How unlucky could you be.

Nowhere near as bad, but some of the earliest cars to arrive at the Melbourne port were showered in acidic bird shit whilst awaiting a truck.

Wouldn't be too keen on taking delivery of a hail damage repaired car.

:mad:

Maaaaaaan that's terrible!

Be sure to go over the car extra carefully when they do the handover. You don't want a clown car (...a car that has been repaired with less than top quality paint matching i.e. mismatched paint colours across panels)

I'm refusing delivery of a repair job.
Hoping to be allocated an order that fell over, my dealer has a magnetic in stock.
Not my first colour choice, however better than a repaired shadow black.
It's now just a waiting game to confirm who/how many were damaged.

hopefully they just need some PDR.
It is impossible to tell from outside that PDR has been done by a good tech.
Actually, a good prep and paint and some attention to panel fits may see you BETTER OFF than a "factory finish".......
If you set expectations with dealer you will only accept something PRFECT or damn close, you will likely get results. its all insurance anyway....
Good Luck - the real killer is the extra wait for repairs !!!

Update, it was only those cars sitting with Prix Car that were damaged.
Those still sitting on the wharf were unharmed.
Phew!!
