While driving on Highway 99 at about 56 mph, your sunroof suddenly shattered into large pieces with a sound like a glass explosion. The overhead protection panel was closed, which prevented the broken glass from falling into the car—otherwise it could have caused a serious accident. After the repair shop replaced the sunroof, they found the electrical mechanism that closes the sunroof wasn't working properly and needed replacement as well. The repair may involve replacing the sunroof glass panel, the sunroof motor, and the electrical control switch.
