I was driving on the interstate, and I heard a very loud boom from my vehicle, followed by crackling sound. My sunroof shattered as well as the fixed piece between my windshield and moving pane of sunroof. The following day, I drove the vehicle to a local dealership and was told an object struck the vehicle and caused the damage to the vehicle. The first pane of glass had a 1 in diameter hole with a starburst pattern and the second pane had very little visible damage to it other than the hundreds of cracks in it. I am concerned about why the first pane of glass that is angled outward to the road is not made of safety glass or metal and was constructed of tempered glass. I was lucky that I had my blind closed and that the glass did not separate from the vehicle and strike any of the vehicles behind me. As I told the gentlemen at the dealership, if road debris hits my vehicle I should not have to replace a third of my roof. Rocks have hit my windshield and chipped it, but for a rock to hit my vehicle and cause such extensive damage is poor design or quality of manufacturing.
