Damage guide
A rollover stresses the entire safety cage: the roof panel, A- and B-pillars, and glass all take load they were designed to survive exactly once. Even if the vehicle lands on its wheels and drives, the restraint system (airbags and seat-belt pretensioners) and the roof structure need a professional inspection before you rely on them again.
Educational content only. This is not a repair quote, insurance advice, or legal advice. Actual damage and costs depend on a professional in-person inspection.
From our versioned collision ruleset (v2026.09.3), the same data that powers our pricing guides. Severity is a typical starting point; your accident may differ.
| Part | Typical severity | Typical repair range |
|---|---|---|
| Roof panel | severe (8/10) | $1,050 – $2,970 |
| A-pillar | severe (7/10) | $705 – $2,200 |
| B-pillar | severe (7/10) | $880 – $2,620 |
| Windshield | moderate (6/10) | $250 – $625 |
| Driver airbag + module | moderate (6/10) | $555 – $1,910 |
| Passenger airbag + module | moderate (6/10) | $615 – $2,190 |
| Rear glass | moderate (5/10) | $230 – $565 |
| Seatbelt pretensioner | moderate (5/10) | $200 – $945 |
Each row is that part alone: its price, the hours to fit it, and its refinish. If every listed part needed work the whole job runs roughly $5,625 – $17,565, which is more than the rows add up to because a repair also carries paint materials, calibrations and the operations published labor times exclude by rule, which come to $975 – $3,115 here. Most repairs involve a subset of these parts. Ranges are educational, not quotes.
Rollovers stress the entire safety cage. Roof, pillars, and restraint systems often need inspection even if the vehicle drives.
A shop will measure the roof and pillars against factory dimensions, inspect the windshield and glass channels, check every seat belt and pretensioner, and scan the restraint-system module, because deployed or not, the sensors record the event.
