10 December 2015 my car was hit by big hailstorm on the parking space where i work outside Bergen, Norway. My car was the only car that got damaged.
PS! 50 other cars that was parked at the same parking space, was not damaged? Good for them of course...
The car and damage was gone true yesterday by "experts", to see what they should do and price. Was just the passenger side of the car we did NOT found any damage. Overall we are talking about 100 dents +++ on the roof, hood, driver's side and rear. They want to brush down the bodywork where the dents are and "refill". Then "paint" almost the entire car. Have still not got the price for the repair, but we are talking about somewhere between 60 000 - 80 000 NOK. (6500 - 9000 Dollar).
The challenges I see with this repair is:
- Paint a brand new car! I`m pretty sure it`s not gonna be 100% again!
- When I sell it, I must inform about the "damage". And have negative effect on the price.
- What about the next big hailstorm? Will the same damage occur?
Could it be that the bodywork of the Audi A3 e-tron is too weak? Or could it be manufacturing defect? I'm just wondering..
I am in dialogue with the seller, to find out how I can take this further in the Audi system. Do you think i have any chance to take this further within Audi?

Have already been talking with my dealer and him who sold me the car. He agree that this seems very strange, and he will call Audi tomorrow to hear how I can take this issue further.
