$22,000 for a Sunroof? The Hidden Cost of Car “Luxury”

It shattered expectations — and a bank account. Lorraine Sommerfeld returns with a wild case of a $22,250 sunroof replacement that exposes how modern cars are built for style, not service. From panoramic glass that can’t be repaired to parts that are too specific for the aftermarket, car design has quietly shifted into something deeply disposable.

Lorraine breaks down why cars are now “Duplo,” not Lego — made from oversized parts that can’t be swapped or fixed. Plus: what’s really driving insurance hikes, why right-to-repair laws matter, and how manufacturers escape accountability for design failures. Weld it shut or pay the price.
