After years of no contact with anyone a lady hit me sitting at a stop light just hard enough to need a bumper cover(and possibly wheel arch molding?) The cover is popped out about an inch on the drivers side where it is under the wheel arch molding also of course pushing out the wheel arch molding. If I understand that would mean a brace has been broken. Most of the obvious damage on the rear is on the cover of the tow hook access.
My Questions:
Obviously I want new parts...will this be an issue on a 2014?
Will the wheel arch molding seat correctly after this or should it be replaced?
Would a minor impact like this which will show up on an accident report diminish the value enough to pursue diminished value?
I have a trailer hitch which doesn't look like it took a hit. I estimate the impact speed was + or - 5 MPH. Any chance of hidden damage?
I am an hour and a 1/2 from the nearest Suburu body shop. Should I be compensated for my time? I figure it will take 3 trips....1st for the estimate...2nd to drop it off(obviously they need to pay for rental) and 3rd to pick it up after repair! That totals 9 hours + time there..so probably 12 hours?
Thanks!
