ON FEB 5, 2015 AS I TRAVELED DOWN THE ROAD MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH UNDER AN OVERPASS THAT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE TIME ON SMOOTH ASPHALT, BUT IT WAS LUNCH TIME AND THERE WERE NO WORKERS PRESENT NOR ANY EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN WENT OFF IN MY CAR. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES, FINE. MY WINDOWS, FINE. THEN AS I STOOD NEXT TO MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ABOUT TO GET BACK INSIDE, I HEARD SPLINTERING COMING FROM THE TOP OF MY CAR. I LOOKED AT MY SUNROOF AND IT WAS SPIDER WEBBING. THERE WAS A GAP ALREADY GONE AT THE FRONT OF THE WINDOW. I WENT BACK TO THE ROADWAY/APEX UNDER THE OVERPASS AND LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND NO ROCK OR OTHER ITEM THAT I FELT WOULD CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE.
