Article about Panoramic sunroof shattering

Saw this earlier this week. Think this is a serious problem?

Well... What do you know... A handful of cases and that meets eligibility for an Internet investigation piece

Pano has been around for many many years now ... No big cases open from what I know

I definitely will not get it next car... It is IMHO way overrated and too noisy and hit or miss with who has popping issues

Well, I am personally assuming that for every case that hits the internet, there are a couple that have not been reported publicly.

I love my pano roof.

A good read and a good find. However you love your pano roof there are many out there that don't because of the reasons of popping and how even these people that had shattering pano roofs as in the article that you cited above.
