 Driving down interstate with moon roof/sun roof open, the moon roof/sun roof shattered into a gazillion pieces. there was no sound of a rock or other projectile hitting the moon roof/sun roof. it just rained glass down on us without warning. luckily my husband was wearing a ball cap that protected his eyes, but it could have blinded someone and caused an accident. i cut stained glass so am familiar with how glass breaks. i believe the panoramic moon roof/sun roof is a design defect, which resulted in a stress fracture. i have pictures that clearly show both sides of the moon/sun roof tore simultaneously. all this from an alleged rock. i don't think so.
