“On march 30, 2013. While driving out of town during a heavy rain storm. We started to hear a loud thumping sound coming from the rear of the truck at speeds around 60mph, of which my passenger started to video the sound. Before I could pull off the highway , there was silence and all of a sudden the rear section of the roof and parts of the rear window frame flew off in moving traffic on the highway at speeds of 65-70 MPH. I did report this to my insurance company as I was not sure who may have been hit by all the flying debris.”
