Description of the problem | While driving on a northern california highway on 12/23/2016, i heard a huge explosion and saw that my sunroof had exploded. I immediately closed the hatch to prevent glass from coming into the vehicle. When i pulled over and got out to look at the damage, i noticed that the glass was pushed up - indicating that it had exploded outward not inward (as in something falling on it). |
