VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUN SHOT. I LOOKED AROUND, AND LOOKED UP, AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED INTO A MILLION LITTLE PIECES, AND WAS SLOWLY BREAKING BACK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND WAS FALLING ON ME. I WENT TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE, AND A LARGE CHUNK (ABOUT 9"X9") FELL ON ME AND SCRAPED MY ARM. I HAVE GLASS IN THE CAR, HAIR AND GROUND INTO MY SKIN A BIT - SOME OF IT IS VERY FINE AND SHARP, LIKE SPARKLY POWDER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WAS PROBABLY A ROCK THAT HIT IT, BUT I DON'T THINK A ROCK COULD HAVE A VELOCITY IN THE VERTICAL DIRECTION AT THAT SPEED TO HIT AND SMASH THE GLASS. I'M REQUESTING IT BE FIXED UNDER BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. *TR
