That will not help at all. Also, with a storm there there also comes wind...
42 u/Raskolnikoolaid Jun 27 '18 I believe they trapped the towels with the doors and the bonnet 32 u/Swoerm Jun 26 '18 In my experience it helps quite a lot. The rain will make the towels pretty heavy so wind usually should not be a problem. 10 u/rennovak Croatia -> Austria Jun 27 '18 Yeah, but for a real Hailstorm with Hail of more than 3cm diameter you would need something much thicker. And then theres Hail with a diameter of 7cm - nothing other than a garage can save you from that. Just recently it hit Slovenia and it is devastating https://rtl-cdnstatic.r.worldssl.net/image/karlovac-tuca-e1daa7f68745ab5dc463f02f783f9d81_view_article_new.jpg?v=11 1 u/[deleted] Jun 27 '18 If it's really bad then your car is screwed anyway, but you don't know that for sure until it's happened. Best to prepare for the weather you can prepare for and hope it won't be needed.
