    Sunroof exploded 5am in the morning on highway 405 traveling to redmond wa., i was not near any underpasses, or bridges. The window sound made a loud bomb noise and them i heard glass breaking. It was going to rain the rest of the day so i took black duct tape and taped the glass so that the integrity of the glass would hold and not continue to shatter and it would not destroy my head liner.

The car shook violently and i thought i had been hit, though there was not another car in my immediate vicinity. I was nowhere near an overpass. When i realized i was still going down the interstate on all 4 tires and not flipping end for end and had not been hit, it dawned on me…
