Consumer Description

SUNROOF IMPLODED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. HEARD EXPLOSION, LOOKED UP, AND GLASS FROM SUNROOF STARTING FALLING INTO CAR. SUNROOF VISOR WAS OPEN AT THE TIME. SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. WAS NOT A WARM DAY (AS I HAVE SEEN THIS BE A PROBLEM IN OTHER CASES). LOOKED BEHIND THE CAR AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE FALLEN ON THE ROOF AND CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME (SO IT WAS NOT A STONE/PEBBLE FROM CAR IN FRONT OF ME).
