Consumer Description

THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY (8/23/2018) ON A CHICAGO-AREA HIGHWAY. I SAW NO LIKELY CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE -- E.G., FLYING DEBRIS. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE LINER THAT SITS UNDERNEATH THE GLASS. THE FIRST THING THAT COMES UP WHEN GOOGLING THE ISSUE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED JAN 2018 AGAINST BMW. CONSUMER REPORTS HAS SEVERAL ARTICLES DESCRIBING INCREASED INCIDENCE OF EXPLODING SUNROOFS SINCE CARMAKERS HAVE INCREASED THE SIZE OF SUNROOFS IN THE LAST 5-7 YRS.
