Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON C470, IN ENGLEWOOD COLORADO, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 60-65 MPH WHEN AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION OCCURRED. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WE WERE BEING SHOT AT OR SOMETHING FELL OUT OF THE SKY. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE, IN OUR HAIR AND EVEN MOUTHS. THANKFULLY, MY HUSBAND MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A PARKING LOT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, IT APPEARED THAT OUR RETRACTABLE SUNROOF (THAT WAS CLOSED) IMPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
