HCHII hail resistance
I had the displeasure of being caught outside in a hail storm a couple days ago, and I wanted to report to everyone how the HCHII held up. Long story short, no hail damage!
Hail was mostly pea-sized, ranging up to about the size of a dime. I couldn't pull over right away, so I was driving through this hail at about 45mph for about a minute. I've checked the body and found no hail damage. I was pretty surprised actually, since I expected to see some small dents when I was hit by the larger pieces of hail.
So, if your HCHII comes in contact with hail, it seems resistant to damage as long as it's fairly small.

The idea behind my post was to attempt to ease some nerves since hail season is upon us! In my experience there is no reason to worry if dime-size or less hail is falling on your car, even if driving 45mph.

This is definitely nothing to look forward to.

hey, brian. i am in st. cloud, and we have had some dandy hail storms lately. my car has been outside in all of them, and i see no damage on it at all. with the length of the storm and the power of the wind, i was pleasantly surprised when it stopped.
