Pretty sad. And just when I got it almost perfect!

The whole back end was shoved forward - there is no gap between the front edge of the rear fender and the rear door edge. Gotta see what they find when it is dismantled - hopefully it's "just" the crush zone. Otherwise, it could be totalled (which might be the best outcome for me - leased car with gap insurance).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/380729.phtml">Here's the story</a></li></ul>

Sorry about your loss. That must have been a truck or SUV to hit the car that high.

Default Ouch!! Good luck with the repair, etc.

Make sure your lease company doesn't screw you for turning in a repaired car. Look into this now, and think about diminution in value due to the accident. Maybe the lease makes all of this not your problem.

Default Just use some Klasse, but it will take two coats of sealant.

Ouch, Hope you and your neck are okay. Good luck with the insurance.

Sure, one of those HSN "Magic Dent Removers" for only $14.95, "limited to the first 100,000 callers" and you'll be back on the road in no time!. All kidding aside, sad indeed. I know the feeling.
