Recently reported STRUCTURE problems on 2001 Volvo S40

Something, possibly a rail, flew off of my volvo s40 (2001) on the highway. subsequently, the sunroof was unable to close because of getting hung up on the sunshade. when i brought it into the shop, i learned that the rails which had held the sunroof in place had become detached from the glass because the glue applied in the factory to attach the metal rails to the glass was no longer even visible. i do not believe the rail hit another car when it flew off the car, but this incident could have had very serious consequences.

Brakes were very hard - car would not stop for several feet. also car wouldn't start on one occasion - a shield was put into car to prevent this from happening again

Battery was drained, and this caused car not to start at 150 miles. srs light kept coming on at 1100 miles. this indicated that there was something wrong with airbags. at 1400 miles, srs light appeared again after dealer had corrected problem.*ak the vehicle failed to start. the forward and backward seat adjustment was not working. there was noise coming from the sunroof. the engine was noisy. the engine light came on. *yh
