Sunroof exploded 5am in the morning on highway 405 traveling to redmond wa., I was not near any underpasses, or bridges. The window sound made a loud bomb noise and them I heard glass breaking. It was going to rain the rest of the day so I took black duct tape and taped the glass so that the integrity of the glass would hold and not continue to shatter and it would not destroy my head liner.
