Description of the problem	I was driving straight in a grain silo town in kansas (coming up on oakley from colorado springs) and there were no cars around me. The weather wasn't drastically changing and there was no adverse weather. Suddenly, it sounds as though there was an explosion on the top of my car. The fabric partition that separates the sunroof from the interior of the car starts shaking violently in the wind and there was some glass shards that fell into the car. It goes without saying that the incident scared both me and my two kids who were in the car with me. I pulled over to the closest gas station and took a look at the damage (seen in the picture below). As i had the rest of my road trip to accomplish (kansas city, mo), my husband met me in oakley, ks with his car and we made the exchange. I am a very meticulous driver who inspects everything before a road trip: tire pressure, window cracks, interior is intact, drastic change in weather along the trip, etc. I would have never thought to look at the sunroof and even if i did, i'm not sure i would have found anything. If i were driving on a major highway i could write this whole incident off as maybe a stray rock. However, there was nothing around me.
