I think the glass would have coped with most of the hail stones, but it only takes a couple of the really big stones to cause deep stress cracks to require some significant repairs. It's a legit insurance claim, so it looks like you wrote two cars off within 15 minutes. Good effort.

Bloke next door has a Haines 1600S which has now gone thru a couple of bad hail storms.

Not a chip to be found.

Mind you .. this is north Brissy and our hail is a little more ahmmmm refined.
