AwwMaaan..My Sunroof just blew off!

Was on the highway headed home from work and it got loud inside like the window was open. Looked all around and windows were all shut. looked up and sunroof was shut. Getting confused now I put my hand up to touch the sunroof glass and whooosh it was airborn. Flew over the car behind me and smashed to the ground. Good news is I had additional safety glass coverage and my insurance covered it.

Was gonna say, looks like this happened to another member not that long ago...

Glad it was just the glass and not any worse!

Yet another point scored for my sunroof-less coupe

How does the sunroof come off? You mean the glass section separated from whatever mounts it to the sliding rail? Or did the entire thing come off the rail and blow off?

It looked like the glass came out of the frame it was in. I know it only took 15 minutes to replace..
