Today, while driving home from work, I heard a loud crash immediately followed by the sound of wind and shifting glass over my head. My sunroof exploded for no perceptible reason 5 days before Christmas. FML

”All I want for christmas is a fixed sunroof” was always the strangest verse in that song.

That seems to be occurring more frequently as of late on modern vehicles, especially those with panoramic sunroofs. Experts believe that it's due to thermal stress over the large glass area and fatigue from the torsion of the vehicle body. Still sucks for you though no matter the reason. Hopefully it's covered under your warranty if you have one.

It was in the chorus exile, get your head out of your ass.

Christmas shit luck, I got some of those as well. My car got hit and run by some asshole a couple days ago. There goes my Christmas bonus.

Santa wants to put your presents in the car. Merry Christmas!!!!!

That sucks. Last Christmas the heater core in my truck went out, so I feel your pain. Hopefully your warranty covers the damage like mine didn't.

That happened to our glass shower door in the middle of the night! Sounded like a gun went off, it absolutely exploded — shot glass EVERYWHERE, and out the door 10 feet away. Would have been so scary when driving!

Sounds like we have a rogue reindeer on the loose who doesn't quite know how to fly yet.

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally activate your ejector seat, Mr Bond?

It's apparently been going on a fair bit lately- https://jalopnik.com/here-are-all-the-cars-reported-to-have-exploding-sunroo-1819815183
