Never ever heard this before, thought I was the only one. This also happened to me in my cossie 4x4, the sunroof blew out at about 130mph & smashed into a thousand pieces on the road. Found out it had to be the rusty brackets....luckely it didn't hit anybody!

Was it closed ot the time. I usually have mine on tilt to get some of the heat out. I've done 156 like that and it seems ok. Having it tilted might help prevent air from getting under the front, especially if mech. is rusty.
Although now i've said that, mine will probably be doing James Bond impressions the next time i'm ging for V-max.
Cheers.

i wonder what causes them to pop out at high speed?
I mean Christian&Beccy's car has been 150+ mph loads of times and a couple of 160+ mph and they havent had their sunroof blowout.
Is it worth opening the sunroof on "tilt" if traveling at warp 9 ???
