Panorama Roof shattered on a country road.
part of a Panorama roof shattering? Did you fix it yourself? Or have it done? What did it cost Surprise surprise. Driving down a country road at about 50MPH an hour ago and we hear a loud "POP" sounded like a blow out but we couldn't see any problem. So after a minute or so I pulled over to take a look and without getting out of the X I had this feeling what it might be. So I opened the Panorama Roof just slightly to see what's up and sure enough the glass is shattered. So I got out and it looks like it does when you hit safety glass. Shattered but no holes, still in tack, but i can tell that just the front glass is the only part that is shattered. I know it's going to collapse at some point. So I took the chance and drove home and it survived without breaking up. So..... now I gotta see #1 how much it's going to coast to replace, #2 Weather comp and collision is gonna cover the cost.

Well the glass part itself is at least $600. I think it is 3 or 4 hours to R&R the glass @ ~$120/hr. So probably looking at a $1000.00. Un less a pick and pull has one and if you can do it yourself. I think you have the pop the cassette out to get the glass to slide in, no?
How the heck did that happen anyways.

Something probably hit it. Maybe a falling bird, or a mega shit by a bird. Maybe something fell from a tree. I know it can't be bumps and stuff, because on NYC roads, I feel like I offroad every day. Even hit the occasional jump.

it was easier in the Big Chebby days, they creaked to hell-and-gone when you ran a large pothole and the frame flexed (had a camaro pop open a passenger door on a gravel road).
Basically, did you run over a hole or swale in the road that caused the vehicle to twist noticeably, guessing not and tend to agree with the falling object idea - never heard of this one, and I think I've read 'em all..
