Sorry to hear about the damage. Someone (carringb ?) answered that hood question sometime back IIRC and thought it was an 08 and newer thing with the later models being metal.
Just curious, does one need special insurance for damage considered an act of God?

Bummer about the damage. I'm glad to hear the solar panels survived though, and wonder what brand and type they are. I just ordered some and hope they will be damage resistant, but if sheetmetal got damaged your panels must be pretty tough. Best of luck with your insurance.............
Both fiberglass

I wish the hood had been fiberglass! The couple small - almost unnoticeable pings in the side could probably stay and not be too annoying and the ones on top I can't see anyway. But the hood... dammit...

Hail almost squashed ME. It loaded the penthouse top with slush and it started to come down; fortunately I had a cargo bar jammed in a corner to hold it, but as soon as I pulled it kaboom!
Happened at Huntington Lake, western Sierra.
