So, last weekend, my wife and I were returning to Milwaukee from central Indiana. As we passed about twenty minutes south of Chicago on 90/94. we hear an incredibly loud **boom** on the roof of my xB. Now, there were very few other cars on the road, and we were on a stretch of road without bridges. We were just driving along and then, boom..

So, we exit the interstate and I discover a large 6" dent in the roof--near the back of the car. The edges of the dent are jagged, yet well defined, and there are two large impressions about 3" apart near the center that are about 1/2" deep.

After talking to my insurance (and finding out that I still have to pay my $500 deductible even for "acts of god"), I find out that this happens every once in a while--from ice falling off of landing planes.

Unacceptable! My poor xB went from having no scratches (or door dings or anything!) to having a huge dent on the roof.

Just needed to share...

 

wow that's totally random. sorry to hear man that really sucks

 

wow what are the odds of that happening? Seriously? Insurance companies must love that...probably had a good laugh after they spoke with you, I bet the whole office when into an uproar, but in all seriousness that sucks man.

 

wow thats pretty sucky.

call Southwest and complain! lol

 

/\
i would say call northwest, but all their flights are delayed anyways XP

and man those are just some bad odds! sorry to year that!

 

Wow, that sucks man! It's probably from one of those planes flying into Midway! This does happen every now and then but not into cars. This happens to houses cause it's always on the local news...

 

yep, watch those insurance rates rise

 

funny, cause my insurance just went down $30 a month! lol

 

something similar happened to me while passing the Airport here....just a loud BOOM on the roof...I jumped a foot!!looked around didn't see what caused it, fortunately I was driving my '89 Escort "beater" car and the paint and metal must be a lot tougher than our little boxes, just a small ding was all I found.

 

Sorry to hear that. to bad it didn't hit near the front, insurance could have bought you a sunroof.

 

 

Wow, that truely sux man. Hopefully you can get the insurance to fully cover it.

 

Talk about being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
