I pray that if the top does implode as she's strapped in her car seat that nothing worse than a few stitches would be needed.
Of course, other alternatives include keeping the shade closed or selling the SRX. Think I'll wait for the NTSB rulings before I pursue those solutions as GM may have to buy them all back! |
This could be possible but taking into consideration that it probably would then weigh 100 pounds or so (just guesstimating) falling on your childs head, at city speeds alone this would be bad. When doing 75 mph it could become a razorblade. I dont think it would just fall down in an umbrella like poncho, the outer pressure would probably force it into the car. If it were to go outward it would whip like a frisbee. You have to remember that this is a huge opening and the air diffuser (spoiler) would not be open forcing even more air in. I only say this because I also thought about laminating it. Not laminating it and keeping the sunshade closed is the best bet for those that are worried.
