Huge Storm? Save Your Car During A Hail Storm This Year

The weather this year has been crazy already... it also is about to get worse. this spring could bring a lot of hail. That hail can cause a lot of damage on roofs and cars I figured we could try to save one of those things.

Countless Sources state the obvious, find shelter... places like a parking garage, gas station, bank, or anywhere else that has a roof that your car can fit under.

DO NOT PARK UNDER A TREE. In the moment it might seem like a smart idea to try and save your car a little bit, but a tree falling is a very bad time. The only time this is okay is if there are NO HIGH WINDS.

Ways To Protect Your Car From Hail

• Use floor mats or rugs on windows

You can also try to use towels or blankets to help, but floor mats are the best. Cardboard boxes work as well.

• Fold your side mirrors in

A bit of a simple one here, but this easily at least protects your mirrors.

• Park as close as you can to a solid structure

If there is a structure nearby with a roof you may be able to avoid some damage to your car by parking up close to that building and using the slight cover from the roof.

• Have Insurance

This year is looking like a rough one for cars... make sure you get insurance just in case we get even worse storms on the way.
