I had the same problem some years ago. My car (only one month old at the
time) looked like someone took a ball peen hammer to it. Hood, roof, fenders
and trunk were a disaster, windshield gone. Got the car into a good body
shop and they replaced all--the roof can be replaced. Don't even bother to
try and get it repaired it will show up sooner or later.
