I was driving down the highway at approximately 65 mph when I heard a small explosion. My sunroof's inner pane of glass then spontaneously shattered. No rock or road debris caused the issue as all damage was from the inside of the car.

On 2/6/15 while driving on us 17, coastal highway, just off I-95 South, exit 87 enroute to hinesville, ga, my wife and I heard a loud explosion inside our car. We did not know what had happened at first, but suddenly observed there was a hole in our moonroof. After safely pulling to the side of the highway, we inspected the damage. We saw that a few pieces of glass and some glass dust had dropped down onto our console, but only a small amount. Looking at the damage from outside our car, we saw that the remaining glass next to the hole, which was about 10 inches in diameter, was pointed toward the sky. This was the case from all around the hole in the glass. My immediate thought was that the glass had blown outward meaning that the glass had exploded upward from inside the car. If we had driven under an overpass, I could understand that someone had possibly dropped a rock or other projectile onto the top of the car which hit the moonroof glass. This was not the case. There also were no other vehicles nearby, there were no people alongside the road and the tree line was about 30 yards off the side of the road so if anyone happened to be throwing rocks from the trees, they would have had a very long throw. There also was no sound of a rock hitting the moonroof glass or no evidence of a rock or other projectile after the glass exploded. I conclude the explosion was caused by defective glass or incorrect installation of the glass. I decided to submit this complaint because I believe this is a serious safety matter that deserves your attention. If other traffic had been nearby, the extremely loud explosion could have certainly distracted me enough that I could have easily hit another vehicle or vehicles.
