Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING AND HAD JUST ENTERED INTO HWY. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 45-50MPH. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND, WHEN I SUDDENLY BEGAN HEARING A POPPING OR CLICKING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. I COULD HEAR GLASS SHATTERING ABOVE MY HEAD, BUT WAS PROTECTED FROM INJURY BECAUSE THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE HWY AT THE NEXT EXIT RAMP, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT AND SAW A HUGE GAPING HOLE IN THE SUNROOF.
