Description of the problem	I was driving down the highway with my 7 month old baby in the backseat in his child seat. I was about 10 miles into my drive when i heard a puff and a small whistle of air. I thought my passenger window had come down some or maybe i had left the door opened and it was letting air in. When i tried to put my ear closer to the sound i heard it coming from the top of my car. I turned to the sunroof cover and slid it open slightly to see what happened and i immediately noticed the whole glass was cracked. As i kept going down the road i could hear small pieces of glass falling off and into the slot where the sunroof slides into. If i would have had that open there could have been sharp pieces of glass that could have fallen onto my baby.
