“While driving on I-15 near st. George on an overcast, but dry road, we heard a loud bang or thump on our vehicle. Traffic was light and no other vehicles were near. We could find no evidence of damage. While listening to a news report last evening, involving a problem with spontaneous shattering of sunroofs, I immediaely went to my garage to look at my sunroof and sure enough it was shattered.”
