Sunroof Explodes on my wife's 2014 Nissan Rogue

[Homerrca]

It seems to be a lot of vehicles with glass issues. Folks on the ford forum are complaining about their rear windows breaking up with the rear defrost. Wonder if it's cheap glass or if it's something else.

[rage2]

Update. MB corporate warrantied it.

[spikerS]

wow, i totally thought it was going to go the other way. good on em!

[rage2]

I wasn't expecting them to cover it, so definitely nice saving a deductible. Impossible to prove if it was a hit or defect. I guess it happens rare enough (mine is the 3rd one at this dealership) that they have warrantied it in the past as well.

I think it also due to the fact its you, and you have purchased a few cars with them, that the dealership went up to bat for you.

Nowhere to stop safely to pick it up haha.

If you claim it under your glass protection insurance, would that raise your premium?

Its the defroster shorting out inside the glass causing issues. it happened to me. cover by insurance. would have been around 2 grand to repair. very little if any impact to my premiums.

This is pretty much why I custom ordered my vehicle without a sunroof... well this and the fact that I hate having the sun beat down on my head while I drive, haha

I've actually never seen another Q5 without a sunroof, which is a shame because the vehicle is noticeably quicker and more stable in corners without the extra 104 kg on the roof.

Only time I use my sunroof is to watch the bubbles at the carwash

[dirtsniffer]

my wife just got a q5 with the large moonroof. Is it worth getting a film put on? Glass coverage?

[rage2]

My film on it was worth every dollar. No glass on us at all when it failed. Cheap insurance.

It's just headlight film applied to the outside of the sunroof.

Getting our pano sunroof 3m'd right now. Would that not help actual breakage and not just holding it together if it breaks?

[rage2]

I thought it would, until mine broke.

Crazy. I thought it would have too.

Sorry if it was discussed before but how does insurance work for that. Do you need glass/windshield coverage?

Right, but it certainly would've helped if a smaller object struck it. There should be no doubt that it'll protect from breakage by an object that is slightly larger than would've broken it with zero protection. But, that doesn't suddenly make it meteorite proof.

Do you know what the invoice would have been if it wasn't covered under warranty?

$0. I have glass coverage insurance.

[lilmira]

How much is your glass coverage? I was told it's a lot (more than I can afford pal) then I didn't bother to pursue further.
