Description of the problem	My husband and i walked out of house about noon today (21apr13) and my husband looked at car and said "wtf , look at car". Sun roof is shattered. We attempted to contact local kia which is 32 miles away and they are closed. Contacted our insurance company who can not help us out until kia opens on monday and they have to send us to a dealer that is 75 miles away from us for them to look at and then determine repair costs. I looked online to check for recall and am still searching also looking to see if this is an issue with anyone else and found one entry from 2010. Not sure how this happened to a parked car sitting in driveway with no trees around or loose objects. Have other vehicle in drive with no damage so ruled out rain. Hoping for fair weather until we can get the car to dealer (i hope it will be tomorrow). Having a toddler who likes to have the visor open so he can look out of sunroof window at sky, the fact this shattered , what if i had been driving and it shattered with visor open and little one in carseat?
