DANGER- Your Sunroof

I understand near all Yank-side cars have sunroofs, more of an option our side of the pond. It's not unheard of for sunroofs to simply lift-off and clomp following traffic. A sheet-metal stamped-frame is bonded to the glass. Water sits in the seal and rots the stamping. Eventually there's nothing to hold the glass to the stamped-frame, and wompf, the wind lifts it off. The vehicle behind sees your sun-roof assembly. Not good.

Check yours.
It isn't because testers don't know about it. Should be an MOT fail. Pound to a penny, yours won't be good. Mine was found in a very bad way. A firm push would have seen it go to lift-off.
