Description of the problem | The single pane sunroof exploded while parked. Glass shattered everywhere. The shadeguard was closed at the time and prevented glass from getting to the interior of the car. This happened in the overnight hours and nothing was seen on the video camera monitoring the cars to cause this. No objects were found near the car or inside the sunroof area. I have called my insurance company and was directed to a glass company who has told me they do not fix sunroofs and that my insurance company will call me regarding my claim but i have not heard back from them. I am expecting to pay for this myself. I have owned the car for 2 years. The temperature was excessively high outside during this time but this was overnight and under large trees with shading and not in direct sunlight. The car had not been driven for at least 2 days before this incident nor had it been moved from the location. |
