Alright it's pretty clear at this point that the hood needs to be replaced. The PDR guy missed a bunch of dents on other panels so he is coming back tomorrow to remove those. My biggest issue right now is what to do with the front section of the roof. The PDR guys says they can't be taken out so the shop wants to use oldschool sand, body filler, paint to repair the front section of the roof. Do I need to be concerned about that? Doesn't the roof flex when operated? Last thing I need is the bondo failing down the road and I have issues again. Should I be pushing for a replacement panel?

Quick update on my hail nightmare. The car is in painting right now. Hood was replaced. Front section of the roof and the trunk had to be fixed oldskool style and need to be painted too =( They've had the car going on 4 weeks now. I have serious withdrawal symptoms. Car is supposed to be ready by middle of next week. Just that I'll be on Maui. Guess I'll have to wait yet another 2 1/2 weeks before I get to drive her again. Wish me luck that they didn't screw up with all the parts they had to remove and install again. The list is like 2 pages long.
