I have my sunroof tinted 35% if I should fall victim to this... at least the glass will hold together???

I'm sure you would know very quickly if your sunroof was not fully closed at any speed over 40 MPH, that wind noise would be more than obvious

Plus you can tell if you can't fully close that sliding cover?

if its a tint film I would think so. Mine was tinted but its some sort of darkened glass as opposed to film so when it blew up it wasnt held together by anything

Yea I have Llumar 35% film on the sunroof. I just wanted the UV-A and UV-B protection.

just saw this on autoblog and reminded me of the several threads here about exploding sunroofs on our cars and the use of tempered glass

I'm curious to know how many of you don't close the sun roof shade AND have had this happen?

That should have zero influence on the issue. Mine was closed though, if you need to know!
