2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2013

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.
