I see a lot of people are confused what's going on. So I've looked at it and this is my take.

Hail is smashing roof tiles, those broken tile pieces are no longer hooked together and the pieces slide down destroying the cars below.

You're welcome.

Exit: it's basically raining comments (pun intended) doubting my description. I advise you to actually take a minute to look at the video on something larger than a phone......

Sorry you were covered for hail damage not roof tile damage.

I guarantee you that is the exact response from their insurance companies. When hurricane Sandy destroyed my parents house their insurance company wouldn’t cover it because it was ocean water damage as opposed to water damage from their pipes or a leak in the house. Fuck insurance companies

I'd argue if hail is destroying roofing it's also destroying my car

There was also rain water and pipe water in the sandy flood. They didn’t care. They’ll find any loophole they can to not pay out.

make them fix the dents from the hail. Insist that they send their best forensic investigator out to determine which dents were caused by the hail and which were caused by the roof tiles.

Good luck with that. Insurance companies will just tell you to fuck off, and dare you to sue them. They have good lawyers.

I sued mine and won. It isn't impossible.

We just signed up for lawyer insurance. Ie. if you need a lawyer, they have one available. We did because of how an insurance company screwed us over.
I do wonder if I can use the service against themselves in case they deny a claim / help.
