4th time in 12 years that the moonroof has broken and the side shields that hold each side in place need to be replaced. This is a recurrent issue at least with me on this vehicle causing my roof to stay open until fixed. Not sure if tis because the roof is so big or if its just faulty equipment/engineering. But I think every three years is a bit much

Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
On 11/30/2014, the glass sunroof exploded on my 2010 lincoln mkt while driving on the ny thruway at night, at highway speed, in clear weather, on straight, dry pavement -- very loud, startling explosion. Sunroof remained in place. Able to maintain control of vehicle. No injuries, but very frightening experience. Did not discover extent of damage until next morning, in daylight: glass had remained in place and did not shatter, but spiderweb cracks throughout. Lincoln customer service department referred me to the sunroof manufacturer/supplier. No further response from anyone after my complaint in a telephone conversation with the sunroof supplier/manufacturer, shortly after the incident.
Takata recall. While driving on the highway, with no other vehicles near us, our moonroof exploded. We were not near any overpass. No other vehicle or person was involved. It is apparent that it exploded outward. This vehicle is garage kept. Nothing ever fell on top of car or scraped it. We are out $1000.00 + rental car exp.
07/04/2016, driving home from 4th of july fireworks at approximately 1030pm, speed 55-60 MPH, temperature about 65, heading west bound on straight route, with my husband driving, myself as passenger, and three minor children in the 2nd and 3rd row. (note: no cars around, no external issues, no previous cracks in glass.) boom sounds like a riffle just shot at my car. Pulled over into local markets parking lot. The entire back panel of the cars moon roof is spider webbed and completely shattered with chunks coming out. I had to unload my children into separate vehicle for their safety for it looked like the entire roof of my car is going to collapse in. My husband examined road at the point of explosion and the vehicle once we got into our garage. There was no signs of any foreign objects or logical reasoning for the sunroofs explosion.
Sun roof exploded showering driver and passenger with shards of glass cutting hands and arms. I believe the sun roof should be laninated glass.
