Visibility problem #1

The contact owns a 2008 Mazda 5. While driving 65 mph, the sunroof suddenly exploded. The sunroof was closed at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that someone in the vehicle caused the failure. The current and failure mileages were 4,100.

Windshield problem #2

Noticed the seal that secures the window to the frame of the vehicle has an 1/8 inch opening, a break in the seal lining. On a recent road trip, in may, driver and passenger heard this popping noise, we thought that something was hitting the car top, apparently not, as the right window seal is further stretched out and a break has now occurred. I am concerned that under consistent use and pressure that the opening will continue to stretch out even further affecting the windshield security and the driver. My mileage is limited and very low at this time but very concerned for safety purposes.
