Description of the problem	While driving approx. 60 mph on a freeway, we heard a load "bang" noise from the roof above us. We had not seen any projectile flying towards us prior to the noise. We found out when we stopped to look that the tinted glass piece that stretches across the width of the car and is located in front of the sunroof, had shattered all the way across the car from one side to the other. It looks like a jagged crevice after an earthquake.
