Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I TOGGLED THE UP/DOWN FEATURE OF THE SUNROOF TO ENSURE THE LOUD WIND VIBRATIONS WEREN'T COMING FROM THE TOP OF MY CAR AND RETURNED IT TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. MOMENTS LATER, A HUGE NOISE ERUPTED FROM ABOVE ME AND I SHUT THE UPHOLSTERY SHADE CLOSED TO SEAL OFF THE HIGH SPEED WIND FROM ENTERING MY CAR AND PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO STOP, I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT THE ENTIRE WINDOW PANE WAS GONE. THE FRAME AND THE MECHANICAL FIXTURE WAS COMPLETELY IN TACT BUT THE WHOLE GLASS PIECE WAS MISSING. THIS MEANS IT HAD TO HAVE FLOWN INTO THE AIR AND LANDED BEHIND ME SOMEWHERE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
