| Description of the problem | Toyota rav4 2008 limited sunroof exploded going 70 mph on interstate (no other factors, such as we were not under/had not just gone under an interstate overpass). I was driving - sounded like a gunshot. Husband in passenger seat and sounded like a loud pop. Glass shattered all over us. We pulled over, patched it the best that we could and took state roads home (3 hr interstate drive vs 5 1/2 hour, 55 mph barely drive home. Took two replacement sunroof kits to get it right. Insurance paid in full under glass policy. |
