2 Carrier/rack problem of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

Failure Date: 03/19/2018

Sunroof spontaneously exploded with a loud bomb-like sound. I was driving on interstate 80 in west sacramento, CA toward downtown. The sunshade was closed and caught the gravel-like pieces of glass. As I pulled off the road, the glass continued to crack into more pieces and collapse into the shade. 75% of the sunroof glass was gone, leaving a large whole in the roof when I stopped, inspected, and called for a tow home.

On the fourth of July weekend I opened used my panoramic sunroof as I have numerous times before. While attempting to close the sunshade I heard a weird noise come from the track and the fabric retracted back into the open position. I once more pushed the close button to close the sunshade and while moving forward the fabric ripped and the coil retracted slightly.
