| Description of the problem | Driving on i-10 in the metarie, la area at speed limit, we heard a loud bang, then wind coming into the car. No other vehicles around us, we pulled to the side of the road and noticed that the sunroof had exploded. Sounded like a bomb went off when it happened. We returned to our hotel and taped the glass to prevent further glass fracture and spray to other vehicles on the road. |
