| Description of the problem | I was driving my car, between 20-25 mph, less than half a mile from my destination and i heard this very loud bang. It scared me, i thought it was a gun shot. I pulled over and something told me to slide my sunroof cover back, that's when i saw that my sunroof had shattered. There was nothing around to hit it, no cars, overpasses rocks, nothing. I got out and looked at the top and all of the glass was bowed upwards. It came from the inside, it exploded. I'd never heard of such. It was about 47 degrees when this happend. Now i'm soon to be out over 600 dollars in repairs for something at no fault of my own. |
