ON TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 2018 JUST AFTER 7P THE SUNROOF EXPLODED - WITHOUT WARNING - WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 JUST EAST OF HOUSTON. IT HAD NOT BEEN STRUCK BY AN OBJECT AND THE HIGHWAY SURFACE IS SMOOTH CONCRETE. GLASS SHOWERED DOWN ON MY AND FLEW OFF THE ROOF OF MY CAR - STRIKING MY PAINT AND SPOILER ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I'M THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT WRECK AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. WHEN IT EXPLODED, THERE WAS A LOUD POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AS GLASS SHOWERED DOWN ON ME. FOR A MOMENT, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN SHOT AT BY A SNIPER - WHAT ELSE WOULD CAUSE A SUNROOF TO EXPLODE WITH NO WARNING AND WITHOUT THE VEHICLE STRIKING ROAD DEBRIS?
