Rear Glass Shattered For No Reason!

Happened with a ford bronco , I was gassing it up when the big side window exploded. I thought someone shot it out , it was a super hot day and the ac was on never figured it out.

 

Maybe why they suggest turning engine off before refueling.

 

Dealership here will say a rock hit it regardless of circumstances.

Good luck

 

My driver-side window on my 17 Tacoma shattered on me while I was driving on the highway in the fast lane. Not possible anything hit it.

 

That happened to my buddy's Highlander. Passenger side window just randomly exploded while he was driving on the highway.

 

I worked for a tier one auto glass manufacturer. Tempered glass, although surprisingly strong when properly manufactured, can explode randomly for no reason if it is not properly tempered (cooled) after forming. Tempering puts a compressive stress around the perimeter of the glass; if there isn't enough compressive stress then it will randomly explode. We had this issue: side glass was exploding in newly built cars that were sitting on the factory lot. Saying that, good luck proving this to a dealer; they'll say a rock hit it or.....
