I reversed into a 2005 Toyota Hilux Workmate. It wasn't more than three metres away, and I couldn't have been doing more than 10 km/h, but I dented the door and apparently knocked the tray out of alignment. The insurance company is saying it would cost $2200 to fix it. How hard would you have to hit it to knock the tray out of alignment?
It wouldn’t take a huge hit to knock a light aluminium tray out of alignment, and I’m guessing from the fact that you dented the door that you hit the tray on a corner, which would be the worst point to hit it. Hitting at 10 km/h would also be quite a big impact.
