“The sunroof exploded while driving down the highway. A loud pop was heard and the glass exploded out or upward. Sunroof was closed, as was shade that covers it. There was a camper on the truck that covers the cab of the truck, and there were no marks on the truck or camper to say a rock had somehow ricocheted and hit the sunroof. (I don't think this would be possible anyway.) there is plenty of clearance between the camper and the cab and it has never it the roof. There is a row of lights across the cab that sit higher than the sunroof, and they are all fine. …”
