Cracked glass between windshield and sunroof

[boosted1g]

Has anyone had the glass crack like this on the glass between the windshield and sunroof?
There is one spot that semi-looks like an impact but the whole thing cracked/shattered in ways not even remotely connected.

I have full glass coverage, so fingers crossed!

Holy crap! That is a first for me, never heard of that piece getting damaged before. When did you make this discovery? Apparently it wasn't while you were driving. But that looks like an impact from a falling heavy object to me. It wouldn't come from road debris flipped up.

I saw it Sunday the first time I went out to the garage. I did hear a noise when I was driving, although it did not sound at all like an exterior impact, I actually thought my daughter had let something slam closed inside the car. I can remember if we were driving near a bridge at that time or not.

You should hear something freaky, from when I was a very young man driving my first car, a VW Beetle. On the freeway, not near any overpasses, I caught a flicker above my eyes of something tiny, dark and fast in the air and "wham!" I had no idea WTH had hit my car. When I got off the freeway and parked I looked my car over and found the stainless windshield trim right in line with my head deeply dented in, and in the dent was lead deposit. What else was that, but a spent bullet? You've been tagged by something just as random, is my guess.

Damn, that is pretty crazy/freaky any idea if it was a totally random bullet, someone shooting at you, or someone shooting at cars? Did you report it?

I had a similar situation also on freeway.
About 18-19 years ago I was driving home from work around 11pm in my 90 Eclipse GST and as I was leaving the on-ramp (on to Kellogg in Wichita) I hear this loud thud on the passenger side. I pull over thinking I must have gotten hit hard by a rock spun off from a tire ... nope deep nicely round indention in the B pillar from what I guess was a 22LR (small dent, did not penetrate the metal). 1-2 seconds slower was the difference between the bullet hitting the B pillar vs going through the passenger window and hitting me.
I reported it to the local PD who were rather nonchalant about it, apparently there had been numerous reports from the area over the last couple of weeks. Moral of the story ... excessive acceleration saves lives!

I did not report it. My location when the bullet hit the window trim was nowhere near any overpass or building. The size of the dent looked like a .22 long rifle slug to me also. I assumed some idiot shooting in the county had gifted me with a spent bullet.

Hey Boosted, how did this resolve for you? I have this exact issue on my 2023 GT Line. Was it a pretty straightforward "glass" repair? Trying to determine if I need to involve my issurance. I've already had a windshield replacement this year also.

I went through insurance, I have full glass coverage. Took a while to find a shop that would do that glass, and required a few phone calls with insurance (since it wasn't a windshield nor the sunroof the rep initially wasn't sure how to proceed). In the end they cut me a check and I paid the glass shop.
