Roof metal = embarrassingly weak? - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I might be convinced if this guy dropped some skittles but your buddy... we'll need to see some pics.

wow I can't believe you guys are having roof is aluminum or not without me! lol FYI, roof is steel.

I'm just wondering not the roof steel is bent... but paint itself got light dent. BUT I'm not expert in painting, so someone can correct me on this one

My co workers 06 hawk eye got caught in a massive hailstorm at the dealership I work at. Every single car on the lot got hail damage. His was the worst it looked like someone had parked it in the middle of a shooting range and just pelted it with golf balls. Makes sense since it was golf ball sized hail but still it was just terrible how destroyed his hood was

Had the same thing last week. My car sat in half inch diameter+ hail for about 30 minutes, no dents anywhere.

Perhaps the OP parked near a golf course?

I petition for more aussie members like this guy.

I have tried to get a picture of it, but it really is so minor that it's pretty tough to get a good picture. I'll try again tomorrow.

-I'm pretty sure it's not a dent in the paint, though that is in interesting thought
-I have not parked under a tree with acorns, so that rules that out. Unicorn poop? Maybe.
-I would like to believe it was there before the skittle, because it's pretty sad that a piece of candy could dent it. However, I definitely wiped away the sour sugar remnants and then saw a small dent beneath it. Again, very, very small, but definitely there.

Well you know that sour skittles are by far the hardest of all skittles good sir

DIM · 10-15-2012, 09:46 PM

Still no pictures of the dent?

The canadian brochure says the trunk is aluminum, unless the brochure is incorrect. Source:e-brochure.
