| Description of the problem | My sunroof exploded today. I was driving at 50 mph, external temp. Is 30 degrees and sunny. There were no cars around me to throw a rock. There was nothing overhead. I was driving on route 137 in maine, a well paved road in a fairly rural area. I had the shade closed, as i always do. I heard and explosive noise directly overhead. There was immediate loud wind noise above my head. I pulled over and opened the sunshade. The sunroof was shattered and the entire central portion was gone. All of the shattered glass around the edges was convex, bowed outward away from the car. |
