Description of the problem	While driving during the day, on the highway, i heard a loud boom, sounded like a gunshot. Looked in the rearview mirror and saw black stuff flying off the back end of the car into the street. Then heard wind and felt wet, so opened the interior shade to my sunroof and there are a huge open hole in the middle of my sunroof.. There was no traffic on the highway, no other cars around me. It was raining, but a light mist type rain. The sound that i heard sounded like a explosion or gunshot and the roof's glass was missing and some came into the car when i opened the shade. The glass looks as if it blew out from inside.. It was mushroomed not caved in.
