I've heard that dry-ice will pop out small hail dents in cars after they sit in the sun for a few hours. Have not actually seen anyone do it however. You might ask the dealer if you can try it on a few spots. He has nothing to lose.

On it's value; I've read here or elsewhere that hail damage will total a TM because the repair requires replacing both top sections. You may want to seek professional advice from your insurance person or elsewhere- I'm assuming here that the damage is noticeable. You could also have it professionally appraised.

We bought a fairly-new, damaged and rebuilt canvas popup several years back that had no visible damage and I paid about 50% of what it would have cost had it not been previously damaged. I ultimately regretted buying it at even that low price but hopefully your experience will be different. I did get a fair price out of it when I passed it on because the purchaser (like me) was willing to live with it's problems at the price he paid.
