Traveling at highway speeds the sunroof glass was partially separated from the mounting frame. The glass was vertical in the air stream until the car was moved to the side of the road. The glass was fully removed and taken to a glass repair shop to reattach to the mounting frame.

While driving in the clear, with all windows and sun roof closed, without any observed reason, the moon roof "exploded"in a loud bang/pop. Glass and glass fragments (some not so benign) rained down onto my hair, shirt, and pants, but mostly on the unoccupied rear seats where my children were five minutes ago. I still have the broken moon roof.
