Failure Date: 03/15/2017

While driving on the highway (60) mph my sunroof exploded outwords. By outwords I mean buckled up and out. Razor sharp prices of glass flew everywhere all over my head and face. Extremely scary. There was no over passes and or traffic in front of me at the time. The force of a rock at this speed would not come close to anything like this. It was almost like the cabin was under pressure.
