Glass Roof and Hail
#22
Technically, yes. But the hail will hit the windshield at a deflected angle whereas with the glass roof it will land at a perpendicular angle. More force on the glass roof for the same size hail. Assuming the car is sitting still, of course. Once the car is moving the equation changes a bit.

Its what happens after the glass roof breaks and your 75 miles away from home and the 'hail storm and rain' is still doing its thing. Thats why i didn't order one. I'm sure the glass roof is as strong as the windshield, but windshields break too.

Just admit it: it's an irrational fear and no amount of rationalizing it will overcome your fear of the glass panel.
It's also perfectly fine to say that $2k is a lot of money for mood lighting.
But saying it's going to break isn't very logical when everything breaks.

LOL!!
I get this stuff called insurance. I was in a hailstorm with golf-ball sized hail. I called the insurance company and they sent a guy to my house and counted the dents and then gave me a check. I sold the car to someone who didn't care about the dents, which were (mostly) not visible.
It would work with a glass-roofed car, although the details would be different.

Reminds me of a story from a couple of years ago here in Austin. Some women was driving down the interstate and a semi on the OPPOSITE side of the road lost a tire. It went over the concrete divider - straight through her windshield...killed her instantly...bad stuff right there.
Guess it goes to show that glass roof or no glass roof...both have their dangers

I would be really scared if it's lightning out and in a glass roof car! I live in Florida, and there's lots of Lightning down here.
I dont want a Lightning Bolt going through my glass roof and hitting me, my wife, and children in the head...
At least, with metal roof above me- I feel somewhat safer. Oh, I dont want hail snowballs going through it either! Yikes!
