·On friday 10/7/05 2 hours before im soppose to meet my crew in Pleasonton for the HID role in, my sunroof decided to exploded.
Windows were down sunroof was open, I had just gotten out of the car. Went in to grab some things as I am coming out I hear a glass explosion. I came running out to find a old lady across the street going it just exploded... ( I came out yelling some #### ).
So I go and walk around the car... theres glass at about a 7ft radius around the car. Along with the metal bars that push the wind deflector down. One shot about 5 feet and the other one shot into the car.
So I start to clean all the glass up with a vacum, u know I dont wanna scratch the paint. So as im sucking I can hear the glass still cracking. Its like the heat just got to it and bam! So I taped out what was left of the glass drove to the dealer asked em if they could take one off a tc in the lot or if they have a replacement in stock. They said no, and no!
SO I told them take the sunroof off I need to get to the show. So they did and told me they call me when the replacement comes in.
I have some pictures for you all. Any help with scion corp would be appreicated. I emailed them but we will see what happens. I know of glass shards stuck in my interior, chips and scratches on the car where the glass hit.
The sunroof as you can see just spider cracked and the sides broke off and shot.
Some of the glass pieces around the car
The way it looks from the back. You can see in the reflection on how the sunroof is cracked.
This one shows the blast radius of the glass
And this one is the little steels beam that pushes the wind deflector down when u close the sunroof. Like I said this thing was like 5feet away from the car.
