Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK, WITHOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN MY GLASS SUNROOF SHATTERED SUDDENLY. THE NOISE OF IT SHATTERING WAS LIKE A GUNSHOT GOING OFF IN THE CABIN. I HAD MY CLOTH CEILING LINER EXTENDED SO I DIDN'T GET HIT BY THE FALLING GLASS SHARDS BUT IT STILL SPOOKED ME. I DIDN'T END UP FINDING ANYTHING THAT WOULD SUGGEST IT WAS THE RESULT OF AN OBJECT HITTING ME.
