Description of the problem | Came out to find that overnight the piece of glass above the windshield and between the sunroof was shattered entire width of windshield. There are no rock chips and car was not moving. Car is kept in the garage. Reading on the internet, i believe the problem was caused by a tension fracture. There have been many cases of this reported for the kia sorento with the sunroof itself shattering. (this was not the sunroof, but the glass piece in front of it.) |
