Shortly after returning home my 2007 Scion Tc sunroof shattered without warning while parked in my driveway. I called a policeman to take a look and discovered there was no sign of impact, only shattered around the edges and the wind deflector was in the up position even though I did not open the sunroof. The center started to bulge upward before cracking and falling into the interior. Car has less than 26,000 miles so I took pictures and took it to the dealer. Dealer would not cover the damage as warranty repair and suggested I go through insurance. Other owners having the same complaint and this safety issue needs to be addressed.

While driving home on 1-16-09, my sunroof just exploded. I was driving about 45 mph, with no cars in front of me or behind me when I heard the loud explosion. I got out of the car and looked at my sunroof. All four corners were completely busted out. The middle was completely intact, but shattered throughout with no signs of impact. My sunroof deflector however was in the up position as if I was trying to open the sunroof. But that wasn't the case since it had been raining earlier in the day and it was 44 degrees out side and I was a mile away from home. I have an 100,000 mile warranty on the car and the dealership I took it to said I'm out of my warranty even though I show him my paper work. They said it is inlined with a rubber seal so that it couldn't just shatter. Looking on the internet at several message boards, I have read several complaints about the same issues.
