<VV> Damage to 28000 Corsa - what broke the pin ? wind ?!?!?

[chaz at properproper.com]

My own curiosity asks, what broke the pin ~ the wind ?!?!?  

It doesn't seem that "wind" (even on an open train, backward) could rip
the pin to cause the damage that was intitially described ?

It wouldn't make any difference just WHAT caused it, if they are
reputable and it happened it while in their "care and custody," but wind
does not appear to be the culprit here, IMHO.

Too bad that bad things happen to good cars though ...

> Hi, I am a Corvair owner and an auto transporter. What you are describing as damage was most certain caused by the lid blowing open during transport. If this was a reputable transport company, there shouldn't even be a question as to who should be paying for the damage that wasn't there when they took delivery of the vehicle. If you signed a contract with the hauler damage claims should be described within the contract. Certainly when I haul a car it's MY responsibility to ensure that the deck lids, doors, or hoods are securely fastened or tie them shut with ratchet straps. If it was my car I would be insistent that they take care of any damage which happened while the car was in there "care and custody". Good luck, Neal
