The Camaro Club (UK)

Tile fell off the house roof this morning and hit the car.

Luckily it missed the T-tops and hit the actual roof part. Left two 10mm gouges in the roof. I guess I'll have to get the whole strip resprayed.

Gutted

Home insurance? Worth checking before shelling out

Sorry to hear, that is a very unexpected thing to happen

I guess the only comfort is as you say, that it hit the body work instead of the t top glass. Hopefully you can find a good body man nearby to iron out the dent and do a good blend job on the paint. Let us know how you get on with it...

I remember in the 80's my brother had a mk1 Capri , full metal flake paint job which cost a small fortune back then and a big eagle on the bonnet, he parked it in a friends old garage while he went abroad and the entire garage collapsed on it (comp,etc with pitched tiled roof)

I did think about house insurance but I don't think it will cost too much to sort so don't think it's worth the hassle. It's not dented it just deeper and wider than what I would call scratched, its gouged into the metal. Guess a bit of filler and respray will do the job.

Just waiting to hear from a local sprayer I had do some work on the last Camaro.

I've started parking the car away from the house now.

I'd take the tile to small claims court...

Haven't sorted the roof yet as it's not a big scratch but will have to deal with it at some point.

I'll give you the heads up in a few months time Dunc

I had a end cap roof tile come off a few years ago it made a right mess of the floor
