| Description of the problem | I was driving down the freeway, at about 65 miles per hour, when i hear a loud explosion noise that sounded like a gunshot. I had no idea what was happening and then i could hear the sound of wind coming from the sunroof. Luckily, the fabric part that slides back and forth was closed so none of the glass came in. I exited the freeway and pulled into a parking lot to see what had happened. Almost all of the glass on the front half of the sunroof had completely exploded out and left a gaping hole. |
