The extent of damage to vehicles from hail can differ based on the size and strength of the hailstones. Bigger hailstones can result in significant damage like broken windshields and dented roofs. Even smaller hailstones can create visible dents and marks on a car's surface, impacting how it looks and possibly reducing its resale worth.
Taking preventative measures such as parking in a covered garage or using a car cover during severe weather can help reduce the risk of hail damage.
