The moon roof glass seems somehow dangerously tight or prone to exploding. This could endanger passengers and other vehicles. Out of seemingly nowhere the moon roof exploded while driving off the high way. I saw no flying object. We were not behind other vehicles that could have kicked something up. We hadn’t gone under a bridge. Glass began to crack and tinkle and cascade off the vehicle, possibly endangering other cars behind us. Also, the broken glass might have fallen in onto passengers. We slowed and exited the highway, and inspected the glass. There did seem to be one location where some object might have hit first, causing the shatter. But the evidence of a single impact point is not strong. We will never know exactly why the Moon roof exploded. I tapped the glass moon roof extensively and we drove home. There was no warning. The vehicle is available to inspect, but is getting repaired tomorrow. The repair shop has inspected it. The insurance people have seen the report from the body shop and will pay ask cost above my deductible. Total repair cost estimated at $5600 minimum at this time
