| Description of the problem | I was travelling down the interstate at around 70 mph on a clear mild day. There were no vehicles near me. I suddenly heard a loud *pop* *pop*. I looked in the mirrors in confusion thinking i had been or hit or shot at. Then glass started falling on me and into the interior of the car through the sides of the sunroof canvas. I pulled over to find my front sunroof panel had shattered into a million pieces. There was no way a projectile it. No vehicles close enough in front and no trees over that lane. Nothing seen by me either. Just a random explosion of glass. No extreme temps either. |
