Ok here goes. I was on my way home one day sitting at a traffic light with one car infront of me and another behind. All of a sudden, the vehicle infront of me starts rolling towards me, I start honking to no avail and shift into reverse to give him more room to stop. Nothing, I had to stop so I wouldnt hit the person behind me, but the force of his (jeep grand cherokee) pushed me into the person behind me as well (vw jetta). He then realises what happened as Im screaming out the window. We pull over and check for damage. I feared that my tailgate would not open as I have read other comments here about how minor accidents F**ed up the hatch. I was suprised to see no damage to either cars. When checking on the front, he had a large scrape in his bumper and I now have a small hairline crack in the tow hook area. To avoid hastle I let him go. I have been thinking about getting an arb bumper but now I really want one, since anything can happen. I called my insurance company and they said that any modification under 1000 would not increase the premium. Now I just have to find one under 1000 for a 2005. Ill be on the lookout for a used one, but I will buy a new one in the summer if I cant find one. I am lucky to have very little damage though.
It actually is about 3 inches long but its hard to notice since its so thin. If you look closely next to the big scuff you can see the thin crack. It loops around and goes down alittle bit.
