| Description of the problem | I was driving down the interstate going around 60-65mph. I heard a loud boom that sounded like a gunshot, as soon as i had a safe moment to pull over i then realized it was my sunroof that has busted. I then was able to step out of my car and realized my sunroof had busted from the inside out. I am very thankful that i was able to stay calm, cool, and collective. I couldn't imagine if the pull of my sunroof from inside the call had been opened. It would have defiantly caused a hazard not only to myself but to other passengers and drivers on the highway. |
