| Description of the problem | Had some rain come through, i got in my car and noticed that the seats were damp and the dashboard was damp as well. So i did a little investigation, looked on top my roof , and it appeared that part of thepanaramic sunroof was shattered. I haven't had any rocks hit my car, i literally drive my car from home to work. I haven't had this car more than 3 months it is in great condition with all the dings and whistles so to speak and only 58,000 miles on it. I bought it used. I would love to know how on earth this could shatter out of no where? I just had to pay a $500. 00 dollar deductible, for something i didn't cause to my car. I am glad the whole thing didn't shatter with me and my child in the car. |
