Description of the problem | I was traveling on the highway at about 70mph the temperature outside was 91 the air in the car was on so inside temperature was about 70 degrees. I heard a loud pop and looked back at my two kids in the back then at my daughter. Glass was everywhere. My sunroof just imploded. No trucks were passing to tho up stones no other cars were close enough to cause this damage. There is a huge hole in the sunroof middle the surrounding areas are shattered and glass is in my seats and council as well as the car floor. I thank god no one was hurt going that fast on the highway! I have contacted my insurance company and they state they have never heard of this and i then google it and see there have been a few others where change in temperature and pressure cause the glass to implode. I will be contacting subaru to file a claim. |
