no, but make sure those "dings" cost more than your comprehensive deductible is all...

Why not just take it to Richey Coliision and have them fix it for you. Probably be cheaper

Use the recall info. for the bubbles. You are responsible for the rest as wear/tear on your car. Insurance claims are not for "my car is naturally falling apart".

Wait a second. I just found out I have "vandalism" coverage on my car. My stereo was stolen out of my car a few months ago. Is there anything I can do about it now?

yes, but what do you mean by stereo? like just the factory cd palyer or a cd player, or an entire system, i.e speakers amps, etc----if it is just the cd player, then you can go under your comprehensive coverages, and again, just make sure your cd palyer is worth more than your deductible....as for a system it depends on your insurance carrier, but in most cases you may have to file under your renters or homeowners insurance, since theses are things that did not come with the vehicle from factory, and are considered personal property items...

It was an aftermarket JVC CD player. It's only worth $120 new, and I think the deductible is $200. So, it wouldn't be worth it.
