| Description of the problem | At approximately 0030 friday august 07, i was travelling 65 mph north bound on the ca215/60 freeway, there was little traffic. I heard what sounded like a gunshot, then a crincling glass sound and finally a whooshing of air i would soon see was a gaping hole where my closed panoramic sunroof use to be. I exited the freeway at the next exit and pulled into a gas station, got out of the car and upon inspecting the car found a huge hole where my panaramic sunroof use to be. I also made a video available at request. |
