Description of the problem | On september 11,2019, at about 4:15 p. M i was driving on the southbound on ramp onto i-25 at the windsor, colorado on ramp (exit 262). I was traveling approximately 50 to 55 mph with the sunroof open/retracted. I was traveling straight, not turning, when it occurred. . I heard a large boom come from the roof and then the sound of safety glass cracking. I pulled over and found the sunroof glass had shattered. I could not find any rocks or other debris nor could i see any scratches or marks from any foreign object hiring it if that could have caused it. The glass roof was retracted into the other part of the roof at the time however so i do not see how something could have hit it with the roof metal roof protecting it from any outside objects at the time of breakage. There were no injuries as thankfully it was retracted. It did occur while traveling on an interstate with interstate speeds and could have caused injury from falling glass and/or cause an accident. I have attached a photo of the broken glass. |
