Sorry to hear about that....i know from experience. Only after 3 months of getting my car i got rear ended too. She went under the back of my car and ended up crushing the motors for the arms that control the convertible top. It cost her insurance $10,000 to put two new motors in....one for each arm. Plus the body work for a new bumper and stuff. All together was around $16,000. So definitly make sure the top works before all is said and done. But after all that, it looks like it was never damaged now...so im very happy.

Sounds like you're a lucky man Jason, the SC saved your life!
