I was driving along the express way when I heard a loud explosion, I look up to see my sunroof exploded and there was glass all over the kids and I. The explosion was so loud I lost control of the car and almost veered off the road. It was terrifying. It happened last year in the winter then happened this year as well. The temperature outside was about 30degrees, and I was driving about 70mph. There were no other cars in front of me at the time. My daughter and I had scratches from the glass on our back

Sunroof exploded while driving down the highway. There was no impact from foreign objects and glass breakage shows upward breaks. No injury sustained due to shade being closed.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WAS ON.

I'D MOVED THE VISOR INTO THE UP POSITION, FLUSH WITH THE FRAME, AND IN DOING SO, THE VISOR BROKE OFF AT THE BASE. I HAD NOT, NOR HAD I EVER, MOVED THE VISOR WITH A LOT OF FORCE. EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW, THE VISOR HAD ALWAYS BEEN TOO TIGHT, TOO SHORT, AND DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE RESULTANT DISTRACTION OF A HEAVY VISOR DROPPING ONTO MY STEERING WHEEL CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AT 70MPH. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT THAT DAY AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, THE VISOR CAN'T SWING ON ITS SUPPORT BAR AS IT SHOULD. AFTER IT BROKE OFF, I HAD TO USE VISE GRIPS...
