| Description of the problem | Glass from sunroof separated, flew off and smashed into pieces on a clear, sunny 50 degree day. It was on a small route in the country and there was no wind. I was going 40-45 mph. I had not opened the window of sunroof in 5 years i owned it as i have had skin cancers. This was a big safety issue. Fortunately there were no cars behind me or we could have had a pile up with serious injuries and deaths. I will attach a pdf file with my notes to date. I believe webasto should replace this at no charge as it was clearly put in after market and was not installed safely. |
