| Description of the problem | Our sunroof glass exploded outwards while driving on a clear expressway. We had been traveling for about 4 hrs, and the sunroof glass bubbled outwards and exploded in many many small fragments. There was no impact with an outside object and the glass was clearly blown outward. We suspect the heat buildup between the glass and the moon pressurized the air and the glass failed, exploding. |
