ON MARCH 30, 2013. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM. WE STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD THUMPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AT SPEEDS AROUND 60MPH, OF WHICH MY PASSENGER STARTED TO VIDEO THE SOUND. BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY , THERE WAS SILENCE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR SECTION OF THE ROOF AND PARTS OF THE REAR WINDOW FRAME FLEW OFF IN MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH. I DID REPORT THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS I WAS NOT SURE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN HIT BY ALL THE FLYING DEBRIS. *TR
