Today while driving home from work on the interstate, the glass on my 2014 Cruze sunroof exploded. Luckily the shade was closed when it happened. It took me a few seconds to recover from the explosion noise and to figure out that the sound of gravel hitting my roof was not gravel but glass. I quickly scanned my surroundings and noted that I had not gone under an underpass so it wasn't something dropped from a road above. The highway cuts through a residential area with no tall buildings that might harbor snipers. Could it have been a road stone with just the right angle? I guess theoretically possible but I don't remember seeing anything. As soon as it was safe to pull over I examined the sunroof. The edges of the broken glass that were still intact were bowing upwards which to me indicate that it wasn't an object causing the glass to break. It looked like an internal explosion.
Anyway, I recall seeing this thread (http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/9-general-discussion/147465-sunroof-recall-n150224.html) so I immediately drove to my dealer. The dealer checked my VIN and said sorry not part of the recall. I explained that the issue is that some vehicles got glass that was too thin. (see Chevy Cruze and Buick Regal Sunroofs To Be Replaced | CarComplaints.com). I asked if he knew the spec for the glass thickness since we can now easily measure what's left of mine. He had no idea and didn't seem interested in finding out.
Does anyone know the glass thickness spec? I really feel my Cruze is part of the recall and want to see if I can push back on the decision. Any other advice?
