Well, I got my first body damage last night. After 4 years of driving it happened. I was in the driveway last night and when I went to back up, I didn't relize my mom's Excursion was parked in the driveway. Well my corner of the hatch met up with her bumper, plowing in the corner of the hatch and smashing my taillight.
Any ideas how much this might cost me? The metal under the taillight was dented enough to hold the hatch shut. I messed around with it a little and I get get my hatch open and clos eit fine now. I have a new taillight on the way that I got on ebay today. Also how long would it take to get this fixed? It may not be able to get into the body shop until July since no one in my family can be without a vehicle. Looking for your advice here, MONMIX .
Also, since I may not get it fixed until July/August, should I shoot some primer on the parts the paint rubbed off of to keep it from rusting?
