“Vehicle was parked in driveway after being serviced. 9,000 miles on odometer. When driving out of driveway noticed glass noise from above. Rolled back sunscreen and glass fell down into vehicle. On further inspection the glass around the hole is raised upward as if compressed from the outside frame. If driving at freeway speeds the safety glass fragments would have injured occupants.
