The antennae falls of, it snapped. It is only plastic and it leaves components exposed to the elements which may cause a fire in the roof. Also if it snaps of while driving it could cause an accident to the car behind you. There are many of these out there that have come off. This should be looked into, they are asking absorbent prices to repair.it happened will pulling out of a parking lot.

Optima 4-cyl

  • 1,000 miles
Driving southbound on I-95 in Virginia, I heard a loud explosion like a gunshot. Moments later, I heard the sound of air rushing past from above my head and debris vibrating on the interior sunroof screen. I later found that it was broken glass crackling and falling against the interior sunroof screen. I pulled over immediately to check the roof for damage. What I found was a gaping hole (8-12 inches in diameter) in the glass of the front sunroof. I was not near any overpass or work trucks, nor did I ever observe anything striking the car at any time- not during this incident or ever before. I seriously thought there had been an explosion or gunshot somewhere nearby. This is a serious issue. The exploding sound alone might cause a person to go off the road or otherwise swerve into traffic.
