My 18 x 30 canopy just went over. Put some dents in my Nitro's hood. I can't believe it. Went thru windy march and one little gust took it over, ripped out all the tie downs and bent the framework.

Re: Big mishap
I had some excellent results with the paintless dent repair. They got all of the dents out and made it look brand new.Comment

Re: Big mishap
It only takes one time to learn this lesson. Use sandbags, cement, etc.
Fortunately for me, when my lesson came there wasn't a car underneath so the only result was a bent, ruined canopy.Heatgain (Gary)

Re: Big mishap
I've gone through 3 of those canopy's, all of which had weights on the bottom of it. Just takes the right wind to pick those things up.
Sorry to hear about that.

Re: Big mishap
Sorry to hear about the dents! I'm getting ready to purchase a canopy and that makes me cringe. I've seen a good paintless dent repair guy at work on a car lot and I was amazed at the results. Hope that works for you, drculinarianOriginally posted by ShinyMopar View PostComment

Re: Big mishap
I don't have tons of wind where I live but I'm glad I read this, now I'll definitely put weights on my canopy.

I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.Comment

Re: Big mishap
Well I found out I can order the parts to fix the canopy. I have only about 6 broken or bent pieces. When I put it back up I am going to pour concrete footers and bolt it down. Tie downs just didn't work even with the heavy frame (300#).
My car is leased so insurance covers the damage which isn't too bad. The car under the canopy never got touched.Chef and Dr. of Min.
