Default body distortion?

Our superb cabriolet was rammed in the back yesterday. Initial inspection suggested the damage was not too bad but after this, on the motorway, we noticed an increase in wind noise and wondered whether there had been some body distortion from the impact.

Later, when we got to our destination, on opening the boot we could see that the cross member below the boot lid was distorted. We then realised that the bumber is, in fact, a crush zone and that the effect of the impact had been transferred further into the vehicle.

On the possible distortion side it has been suggested that we get the vehicle into the local Audi dealer to check that the drop-head mechanism has not been affected.

Any comments would be very helpful please.

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas

Regards

Sorry most of us will not be of much service to you. It's not possible to diagnose your problem without pictures or actually seeing it. Unibody (chassis) damage is a serious matter, have it looked at.
