| Description of the problem | External temperature was ~22degrees f, had rear window defroster and heated driver seat turned on. Front defroster was on and set to highest temperature. While driving at 25 mph, my son and i noticed a burning smell. He was seated in a booster, rear seat, passenger side. He advised that he could hear something behind him making noise. I looked back and observed smoke coming from behind the rear passenger headrest, where my son was seated. I looked forward to find a spot to pull over and then heard a loud bang. Looking back i saw the rear window was shattered on the passenger side. It is a sliding rear window with three sections, only the passenger section,directly behind my son was shattered. The glass remained in place, but shattered. I quickly pulled over, shut off the truck and removed my son. From the outside i can see the plastic lower corner melted where the passenger glass meets the center glass section. The rubber seal/molding was smoking and had melted and dripped down the back of the truck cab, between the cab and the truck bed/box. Inside there is a strong odor of burnt rubber or plastic. |
