I took it to the dealership and they estimated it'd cost ~$2500 to repair due to it being attached to the roof and how in depth it would take to repair. I have a $1000 collision deductible through Geico. Do I just file a claim and pay the $1k and watch my rates go up? Try and shop around a body shop who might not guarantee it? --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD <cite>Hinakuluiau posted [p:959038163] in Anyone exp...

Funny thing is that the radio still works, it's just the computer chip is showing. I'm more concerned with roof damage. It's been raining the last couple days and there's no leak that I can see, but I am worried it's going to cause seal issues or something (I"m not a car guy so I'm not sure if that's possible). --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD <cite>Hinakuluiau posted [p:959038297] in Anyone exp...
