Summary
Previous Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) reports have shown that glass claim severities have been increasing over the past five years. This report examines select Kia SUVs to understand the extent to which panoramic roofs may be contributing to this increase, as well as their impact on glass claim frequency and overall losses. Glass claim frequency for vehicles with standard panoramic roofs is 10 percent higher than for vehicles without such roofs available. Glass claim severity is 26 percent higher, and overall losses are 39 percent higher. Among vehicles that may be equipped with optional panoramic roofs, glass claim frequency is 5 percent higher, glass claim severity is 20 percent higher, and overall losses are 26 percent higher than for vehicles without panoramic roofs available. The smaller effect among this group likely reflects the fact that some vehicles likely were not equipped with these roofs
Discussion
Glass losses for vehicles with standard or optional panoramic roofs are significantly higher than vehicles without panoramic roofs. In addition, the increase is greater for vehicles with standard panoramic roofs than vehicles with optional panoramic roofs, which is expected, since not all vehicles with the option actually have it. Panoramic roofs are becoming much more widely available, with one-quarter of midsize SUVs and more than half of midsize luxury SUVs having panoramic roofs available. Over the past few years, glass claim severities have been going up, and pan-oramic roofs are likely a contributing factor, with the cost to replace these glass roofs running $800-$1,000. What’s NextThis is a preliminary look at glass losses for vehicles with panoramic roofs based on a limited sample of vehicles. As panoramic roofs become more widely available and more data is collected, HLDI wil
