Went camping over the weekend, great trip, just up to Murphys Creek, in one of the remote sites, very quiet until the wind came up and made it unbearable - anyway thats not the issue

I had all but finished packing up, backed car in to hitch up trailer and stopped between 2 trees, had to put a couple of small things into passenger side, Michelle opended passenger door and went to collect her couple of items I was at back of the car tidying up the stuff, and then a small branch dropped from the dead tree, hit the top of the door and pics show damage, now this was not a heavy stick at all - boy it is soft on top of door could not believe the ding in it,

If I did not stop, door was shut would have missed, oh well about $400 to fix I am told.

Bugger! No good at all Grant.

$400 sounds very reasonable to me though, not even worth going through insurance.

grantm:
Yep is less than my excess, still waiting on official quote however

BinaryMan:
Hi Grant,

I suppose one of those things aye...

'looking at the pics, as you said it wasn't a big branch at all but 'gave it a good ding.  I noticed the paint work "peeled" off (?) where it hit.  I would've thought the paint should have "bent" with the metal.

Anyway. 'hope you get her back in tip top shape again.

Cheers!

BMux:
Wow that's unlucky. Must've hit at just the right angle to give it a good knock. At least it's only $400 though, could have been worse!
