Temperatures outside were in the mid 90's, time of day was 6:00 pm, I had air conditioning running and sunroof and interior shade totally closed. After the explosion, the sunroof was bowed from the inside out (convex curve) and the safety glass was shattered in weblike pieces. I pulled over as soon as possible and I was missing glass from the middle of the roof about the size of an oblong watermelon.”
