Sunroof suddenly and loudly exploded outwards from cabin after about 10 minutes of driving with heat on high/medium high at approx 65 mph. Sliding sunroof partition was open. Only a few pieces of glass fell into cabin, but entire sunroof was shattered into thousands of uniform pieces, expanding outward from cabin and remaining in a slightly outwards expanded shape.
