Googling Hail damage while car is being serviced:
No, they are not responsible for hail damage. Weather damage is something beyond a person's or business's control; it is the proverbial "act of God." As such, the dealership is not responsible, because people/businesses are only responsible (or "liable") for property damage when they are at fault, and no one is at fault for the weather. (Yes, the car "could" have been stored under cover, but because it is reasonable to leave it outside, they did nothing wrong by leaving it exposed.)
Kudos to your Ford Dealer for going above and beyond
