Consumer Description

AFTER A SHORT DRIVE IN HOT TEXAS, I PARKED MY CAR TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER. CAME BACK OUT TO AN EMPTY LOT AND CHATTED WITH ANOTHER PARENT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WHILE DOING SO MY SUNROOF "EXPLODED", NOTHING LANDED ON IT, AND WE WERE FAR FROM THE ROAD OR ANY BUILDINGS. NEEDLESS TO SAY HAD WE BEEN IN THE CAR AND DRIVING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, THERE WAS TINY PIECES OF CLASS EVERYWHERE. AND IT SAID A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND I AM SURE THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED ISSUES DRIVING 60 MPH, WHICH I DID 10 MINUTES EARLIER.
