2014 Honda Civic: sunroof shattered

Filed Apr 16, 2023 · MS

On March 31, 2023 while driving on I 10 from Gulfport, Ms towards Diamondhead, Ms the glass sunroof exploded for no expiable reason. I observed no discernible reason for the glass sunroof failure. Other than being startled at the loud noise, and spending $ 480 for a replacement glass sun roof, there is nothing else to add. The loud noise might cause some drivers to loose control, and traffic safely might be affected. I called a Honda dealer, explained my circumstance, they ran my vin, and there was no recall. The glass failure is in the comprehensive insurance bucket, and with my deductible, the loss was an out of pocket expense. I used Dunaway Glass in Gulfport, Ms for glass sunroof replacement. I think think they were replacing a Honda glass sunroof the day I called to make the appointment, and my sunroof glass was one of two glass sunroofs ordered together. Please verify my recollection with Dunaway. There was no warning, in any manner, at all. The glass exploded and caused me to become distracted, there was no subsequent accident.

While driving the car we had heard an explosion and glass shattering. We looked around and couldn’t see any damage. I had pulled back my sunroof and saw it was completely shattered outwards, not inwards. My sunroof was made out of tempered glass, which these types of sunroofs have a tendency of randomly combusting.

While driving, I heard a loud, gunshot like sound and glass started falling on me. My sunroof had just appeared to have been hit with something out of nowhere. I safely pulled over and began looking for anything that might appear to have hit it but only found the glass appeared to have been hit from the inside. The sunroof was completely shattered but luckily didn't fall completely apart.
