| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway when i heard this huge pop that sounded like a gunshot, honestly. I quickly glanced around but didn't notice anything. I get to my destination and walked around my car. No glass was cracked, all my lights were fine, and there were no dents or holes on my car. Thinking it may have just been debris that hit my car and made a weird noise i got in my car and started driving home. I get on the highway, start going about seventy mph, and out of nowhere i hear this crunch and scrape noise followed by a bunch of air coming from my ceiling. Confused, i get off the highway and i pulled over into the parking lot of a walmart and that is when i saw my sunroof had exploded for no reason! I was not passing over a bridge when i heard the initial pop nor was there was not any construction going on near where i was when i heard the initial pop. Luckily, i had the sunroof closed so i was able to get as much glass out as i could. There was no rock or brick or any other debris inside the sunroof compartment. Also, i noticed that the glass is facing upwards and not downwards. |
