    I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE ROOF OF THE TRAILER FLEW OFF. IT APPEARS THE TOP METAL SHEET WAS HELD BY ONLY A THIN LAYER OF CAULK OR PUDDY AS THERE ARE NO SCREWS TO SECURE WHERE THE ROOF SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IF THERE WAS ANYONE BEHIND ME. IT IS A 2019 WITH LITTLE USE THAT I PURCHASED LESS THAN 90 DAYS AGO. *TT *DT CARFAX CANNOT PROCESS THIS REQUEST. SAYS IT IS INVALID. *JB
