2012 Kia Forte Visibility & Wipers Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET WHEN I ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD A LOUD NOISE COME FROM ABOVE. SECONDS LATER, I START HEARING SOME RATTLING ABOVE ME. WHEN I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER, I OPEN THE COVER TO THE SUN ROOF AND A PIECE OF GLASS FALLS. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE COVER AGAIN SO NO MORE GLASS CAN FALL INTO THE CAR. MY SUN ROOF IMPLODED AND BROKE EVERYWHERE. THANKFULLY I HAD THE SUN ROOF COVER CLOSED OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT. I READ ONLINE THAT HAD HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE BUT KIA TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SUN ROOF AND SOMETHING HAD TO OF FALLEN ON THE GLASS CAUSING IT BREAK. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE.

MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I CHECKED AND NOTHING HIT IT, JUST EXPLODED. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOUD EXPLOSION. *TR

I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG/EXPLOSION. I PULLED OFF AND STARTED CLOSING THE SUNROOF WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS SHATTERED AND A LARGE PIECE FELL OUT. IT WAS 58' WITH A SMOOTH ROAD AND I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 50MPH WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDE OF ME. THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN ALL THE WAY AT THE TIME OF THE BREAKAGE. *TR

MARTIN GLASS COMPANY (AGRSS REGISTERED) REPLACED A FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD ON 04/18/2012. OUR TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO PUSH MOST OF THE WINDSHIELD OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO CUT THE URETHANE BEAD. THE URETHANE BEAD PULLED RIGHT OFF THE WINDSHIELD, AND WAS ONLY ADHERED TO ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WINDSHIELD PERIMETER. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAD IT BEEN, THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT HAVE REMAINED INTACT. THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS DUE TO THIS FACTORY INSTALLED IMPROPER INSTALLATION WAS COMPROMISED. *JS
