At the heart of the usual packaging film 60 microns thick, sewn from 2 pieces 1.2 meters wide into a single piece 5.2 meters long.

This film has always been used to wrap furniture.

When pressed, such a film breaks. This film was nicknamed - "Antistress".A person can easily "relieve stress" by popping bubbles.

This film was packed in a beautiful bag and a red sign "Antigrad" was glued

The price of such a film is 8 rubles / m2.

It is very easy to come up with an arithmetic solution; 2.4x5.2m is 12.48m2.

The word "Antigrad" - in meaning and content, reflects the essence of this "product", that is, protection from hail. The buyer buys a bag and the inscription "Antigrad" for 1100 rubles, and uses the film for its intended purpose, that is, covers the car.

This product cannot be secured and held in strong gusty winds on a vehicle. The straps used to attach to the vehicle are not designed to be secured to the vehicle. In a strong wind, this "cape" rips off, tears and it flies off to neighboring cars. There will be no benefit from such protection.

The topic of protecting cars from hail is gaining more and more popularity among car owners in Russia. If earlier only the southern part of Russia suffered from hail, now every now and then there is news about a large hail in other regions. At the end of the summer, I myself fell under the hail, so I know what it is like to look at my car, which is beating with hail, but you cannot do anything. But, at that time the car was left without damage, but the cars of the acquaintances were well beaten. Before I start talking about how to protect your car from hail, I note that do not forget about your safety. All the same, a car is a piece of metal that can be repaired, but its own life is more expensive. Hailstones that leave dents on the body of a car, hitting the head, can kill. But let's not talk about the bad.

So, the hail can catch at any moment. As usual, this happens suddenly. If you are on the road, you should immediately slow down and assess the direction of the hail. It is best to try to get away from the hail in the other direction. If this is not possible, then it is necessary to find refuge. Indoor parking or a petrol station canopy is ideal. You should stop in tunnels or under bridges only as a last resort, since it is prohibited by traffic rules and can provoke an accident.

You should not hide under trees, as with strong hail this is unlikely to help, but it can also harm even more. Strong winds can break the tree and cause more damage.

If there is no way to find shelter, then we stop immediately. On the move, hail damages the vehicle even more than when it is parked.

How to protect your car from hail on the road?

So we stopped. We assess the situation and protect ourselves from hail. First of all, you need to protect your head. Hail occurs only during the warmer months, so you probably don't have a hat in your car. And hardly anyone carries a helmet with them. Therefore, we do not hesitate to improvise. Take, for example, a headrest cover, put something airy inside (a bag, newspaper, paper), put it on your head and only then go outside. Before you protect your car from hail, take care of your safety!

Rubber mats protect well from hail. They act as a damper and hailstones ricochet from them. A rubber hawk mat can even cover the entire roof of a car! By the way, about the roof. It is necessary to save it first of all, since it is the most expensive body part to repair. We cover the trunk and the hood with carpets from the salon. Do not worry about glasses and save them last, as this is not the most expensive part and can be easily replaced with a new one.

The next good option for protecting a car from hail is the trunk pile carpet and hood insulation. The boot mat on most cars is fastened with Velcro and can be easily dismantled. The hood insulation is fastened with clips that can be torn off very quickly. After all, you can always buy new ones. It is faster and cheaper than fixing a car body.

Life hack that will help protect your car from hail

I saw this life hack from a friend. Its essence is very simple. He always carries a pimpled protective film in the car. Such a film is sold in hardware stores and costs mere pennies. When folded, it takes up little space in the car. And when folded in half, it very well protects the car from hail. In case of hail, she can cover the car very quickly and not be afraid for its safety. One end of the film is clamped by the hood, the other by the trunk. And that's all. The machine is reliably protected from hail.

That's all! I hope, after reading this article, you understand how to protect your car from hail. And let's hope that you never need it. Not a nail, not a rod!


What should a motorist do if an encounter with hail is inevitable? Reasonable "road lovers" will say that the first step is to seek shelter, any solid structures, bridges, canopies of gas stations or supermarkets will do. And what about those who are caught by bad weather on the track? What to do in this case? Here are some practical tips to save your loved one.
Situation 1- "Hail in the" open field ". Yes, indeed, the situation is unpleasant. If bad weather caught a motorist in an open area, then you should rely only on yourself and your thriftiness. Rubber mats can be used as improvised protective materials, they will soften the blows of hailstones. A plastic pallet, which many have in the trunk, will also help to save the car. Fabric rugs in such a situation are bad helpers, since the first gust of strong wind will blow them away. However, if you fix them, for example, with bands with rubber inserts and hooks, you can minimize the damage caused by the elements. An air mattress can also protect the car, however, firstly, you must have a compressor in the kit that runs from a cigarette lighter, and secondly, you still have to run in the rain.

Situation 2- "Grad found near the trees." It seems to many that having driven a car under a tree you can not worry, but let's face it - not every tree will become a faithful protector. Only a strong tree with hard wood can simplify the situation, hiding a car behind it will soften the blow of hailstones, however, even this method is effective only in a headwind. Don't hide under trees with soft, thin branches. In a strong gust of wind, fragile branches will fly along with the hailstones to the car, which will cause even more trouble. An important point: do not cover the car with a cotton blanket, as it gets wet quickly, adheres tightly to the roof of the car and thus "helps" to deform the body.

Situation 3- "The city is" in motion ". When it is raining with hail, it is mandatory to stop the car! Look around (if, of course, it is possible) and look for cover, if there is nothing suitable nearby, push closer to the side of the road, however, do not forget that during the pouring rain, the edges of the road can blur. Do not drive into areas where hailstones have accumulated, you may lose control of the vehicle.
Before a long trip, check the contents of the trunk, mark the location of gas stations, shops, campgrounds, etc. on the map. By the way, it was noticed that the average duration of hail is about 6 minutes, in rare cases, "freezing rain" can last about 15 minutes.

Hail is a short-term and infrequent phenomenon, but real damage to a car can do. There are no special tricks for protecting the car from hail, but it is worth knowing a few simple steps that you will not immediately remember in the event of a sudden natural disaster.

1. Once hit by hail, it is important to act quickly - it rarely lasts more than a quarter of an hour, but the damage it causes to the car is almost independent of the duration.

2. Don't panic. Hailstones with a diameter of about 1 cm do not leave dents on the car. But if the size of the hailstones is close to 2 cm, you should think about protecting the car.

3. In any case, it is better to stop, because when the falling hailstones collide with a moving car, the speed of their movement is summed up, aggravating the consequences.

4. Look around. The simplest thing is to drive a car under one or another shelter. Such can serve as a canopy of a gas station, tire fitting or parking, an awning of a roadside restaurant, a large bridge or an overpass - of course, with an eye on the rules of the road and the safety of others. In extreme cases, a tree is suitable - its crown will not hold the hail, but at least partially extinguish their kinetic energy. True, old trees are dangerous because in the event of a strong squall they can "drop" one or the other branch down.

5. If there are no options with an external shelter, think about how you can hide the car from the items at your disposal. As a rule, interior mats and a boot tray serve as good protection, a blanket or blanket, a beach mat, a towel are also suitable - the thicker the better. You can quickly put things from the trunk on the car - bags, clothes. If your car's back seat is made easily removable, you can hoist it on the car as well.

6. But before you run out under the hail, figure out what parts of the car you will cover. It usually makes sense to save painted body parts first, since straightening and painting them in many cases is more expensive than replacing glass. And of the body parts, the most valuable is the roof, since it is a non-removable part.

7. It is better to completely cover one part from the hail than to cover several parts in parts. After all, if, for example, on the same roof there is at least a few major damage, it will still have to be repainted, regardless of the number of dents.

8. If the hail did damage your car, keep in mind: today there are technologies that allow you to smooth out small dents without repainting. Therefore, start your search for repair options by contacting the masters of the so-called "non-paint straightening".

In this article, you will find tips on how to protect your vehicle from hail.

What is better for a car during a hail: drive or stand? Better to stand. This way the damage will be less.

Ideally, of course, you need to find shelter. And put the car there. You should place your car carefully under the trees, otherwise, in addition to hail, your car can be damaged by a fallen branch or, even worse, a tree trunk.

But if hail found you on the highway, in a traffic jam in the city, or in another situation when there is no shelter? What to do? Hope for available tools.

What needs to be protected first? Rear and front glass. Secondly, the roof (repairing it is much more difficult and costly than the hood and trunk lid). And thirdly, the hood and trunk. What is better to paint the roof or straighten it or leave it like that. when selling, a painted roof is bad, and the hood is a consumable, do what you want.

The hail lasts, as a rule, for a short time: from 5 to 15 minutes. Therefore, the sooner you cover everything, the better.

Tent-cape Antigrad. It costs from one and a half thousand rubles. Such awnings, as a rule, are all-weather (from the sun and from hail, from rain). You need to turn on the compress, and the cover will inflate. On the cover there are special loops and harnesses for fixing so that the awning is not blown off the car. Minus - to unfold the awning, fix it and turn on the compressor very quickly, otherwise you yourself will fall under the hail.

Rubber mats. We take them out of the car and put them on the glass. We press what we have to so that they do not move out.

The pallet from the trunk(plastic or rubber) is also suitable for covering the car.

Fabric rugs. They are not as effective. But you can also use them, if nothing at all. The rugs must be fixed with improvised means (as a rule, there is wind along with the hail).

Air bubble wrap. It can be rolled up into a small roll and carried with you in case of hail. It will not take up much space.

Can clothes, bags, all that is at hand, throw glass and roof, hood.

Will go and air mattress, but it is difficult to fix them, to inflate for a long time. And this is all the time. During this time, the hail will have time to "work hard" over your car.

If your car is parked for a long time (on vacation, in the south), then you can put old blankets or laminate backing, insulation and fix with tape.

But there is one more nuance. Sometimes there is something to cover the car with, but it is simply unrealistic to take advantage of this: it all starts instantly, and you still have to reach the car, for example, and hailstones of such a size that you can do something only with a helmet and shoulder pads. Then dive into the car and wait: your health is more valuable.

The hail damaged the car. What will the insurance cover?
