Jetta SportWagen

  • 50,000 miles
Front sunroof glass (the portion that moves when the glass is opened) spontaneously shattered. This occurred while driving at ~70mph on a smooth highway in minimal traffic; clear weather, roughly 60 degrees F. I did not pass under any overpasses immediately preceding this event. I normally leave the sun shade back and did not notice any cracks. As I was driving, I heard a very loud noise and immediately glass started falling on me and throughout the cabin. I slowed and exited the interstate, pulled into a safe area and immediately took pictures and called my insurance. The remaining glass appears to be bowed upwards.
