Description of the problem	Driving to work in july 2013 i heard a loud pop sound and looked around and noticed nothing out of the ordinary about 10 seconds later my panoramic sunroof shattered. I thought maybe something was kicked up from a truck in front of me and hit the roof so i filed a claim with my insurance company. Luckily it was taken care of. Now its march 2014 and i had the same think happen, i heard a loud pop looked around and saw nothing until the next day. My windshield was cracked and the panel of glass between the windshield and the panoramic sunroof shattered. I too called the dealer and they told me to call my insurance company that this was not their problem. Twice is one year... I think this is a manufacturing defect.
