I do actually, I park in the garage of my apartment. I'm going to throw a fit if I find that came out of the garage door. That would also explain how of came from so high up...

... and why the washer was still attached. It it were road debris, unless it was fresh, I suspect the washer would still be on the road.

 

[brysonk]

I would go look at your parking garage door to see if there are any missing screws, probably from the hinges...

 

[MrJeepR44]

You have got to be kidding me.....

I will take a picture with the flash when I get home from work. My lunch break was short, and my phones battery was low

 

[MrJeepR44]

The two remaining screws in the opener attachment are exact matches.... washers are there too

 

[Murman]

Son of a gun.:doh:

 

[Ignatz]

Hat's off to Murman. :notworthy:

 

[MrJeepR44]

Yeah, thanks Murman. I am not going through my auto ins, that's for sure

 

[Murman]

Wow... Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

 

[jlobaugh]

That's a hell of a find. If I had a garage, I would be out there tightening all of the screw right now

 

[Murman]

How did this turn out?

 

[MrJeepR44]

How did this turn out?

It hasn't yet. I have been waiting to get some cash to pay a deductible. Estimate from the dealers body shop was $1050. I haven't even called insurance yet

 

[kojack]

I had a load of these in my tires in the 2years of pat ownership. Damn things.

I was washing the Patriot yesterday and thought about your situation. How did things go w/ your Ins. Co.?

 

[MrJeepR44]

Things have been a little tight, so I put it on hold. I plan to get it taken care of next week... I'll definately post some pictures in this thread when its taken care of... As for now, there is still a funny little peak at the top of my lift gate

 

[Murman]

I take it the apartment complex was of no help... :doh:

 

[MrJeepR44]

I take it the apartment complex was of no help... :doh:

None whatsoever. They sent maintence guys to fix the garage, but they feel that is the extent of their liability. I'm going through insurance anyways so I'll let them deal with the apartment complex

 

[the_jeep_now]

Do you have a renters insurance? If so, see if they can take care of that.

 

[MrJeepR44]

I do have renters insurance. I'll call them first I think

 

[MrJeepR44]

Finally got it in! ...I should have it back soon:

That bites. Not much hurts more than the first injury to your newest horse.

That one is a strange one. Two of our last three cars have had random shopping carts blow into the side of them on windy days...both at Wally World.

Sometimes you just can't help it. It certainly hurts when it is so new.
