Description of the problem | Driving on interstate 77 south, just north of boilvar, oh, 70 mph, heard loud explosion. Thought it was a tire. Checked to find it was my moon roof. It shattered to pieces. The hole was the size of a basketball, with remaining glass cracked to the point it crumbled to the touch. No other cars, trucks, or foreign objects were near me. The glass simply exploded. There was no overpass nearby, both sides of road were woods and i was in a rural area. I bought the car new and i'm the only owner. I will contact local toyota dealer and have it repaired as i use my car daily. Date of incident 8/26/18, time about 8:40 a. M. No injuries, other than monetary. The interior slide cover, under moon roof was closed. Moon roof was closed. No police report filed. I covered the area with plastic and duct tape while on the road. When i arrived home, i removed the distressed glass, swept the area, and will see toyota and glass repair facility tomorrow (monday 8/27/18). |
