FYI , MINE shattered yesterday.. I talked to Toyota and they are trying to get it resolved. Take a side picture. IF it exploded from the inside the glass will be pushed out. mine was. there are MANY lawsuits going on now about this..UPDATE Toyota will warrantee it. BUT u mite have to fight for it. No glass inside the truck and the glass being pushed up should prove to them it was NOT a rock,

@SARGE85 was your 22 limited exploding, or you have a new 4th gen that exploded?

I have no interest in sunroofs in trucks, I guess for city drivers and those that use trucks as a luxury vehicle it’s like any other car, so it’s ok I guess. I wouldn’t 4x or do too much off roading or truck stuff in a sunroof equipped truck.
At least the Tacoma has a small sunroof and not those silly full roof “panoramic” glass bombs above your head. I like the old sunroofs that were metal and rolled back, no light when they are closed but that is ok by me.
I’ve heard of them exploding in many brands and I guess Toyota is no different in that regard.

Mine just exploded today, got gas, got back in, closed the door and the sunroof rained glass. Hard to tell from the picture, but it exploded outwards.

This so bizzare, and seems to happen to a lot of trucks. And it isn't just a Tacoma thing, I read about this on other forums for other brands as well.

I wonder how long it takes to get a replacement.

Thanks guys, new fear unlocked. I am now dreading this.

@SpartanCaptain I think this is pretty rare and falls into the worry about it only if it happens category.

Catastrophic failures of glass moonroofs happen in all kinds of vehicles and I don't think there is any way to control it, so thinking alot about it is waste of time.

It's at the dealer, I'll let you know how long it takes and how the replacement goes.

2 weeks to get the glass from California to Ontario. Toyota warrantied. Back on the road finally.
