| Description of the problem | I was driving on the hwy and my sunroof spontaneously shattered. I do not think a rock hit it but if it did it should not have shattered. I was told by the dealer that it had happened before but when i arrived to the dealership he then looked and the sunroof and said that it looked as if it had been struck by a rock and that they would have to do an investigation. I then told him that if a rock hit it, it still should not have busted and shattered the way it did. He said it has something to so with cabin pressure. So then if that is the case every time a rock hits it then it will bust and shatter? |
