| Description of the problem | The right rear window of my truck completely shattered. I was sitting at a stop light on a city street when i heard a loud pop. I look back and see that my window is completely spidered. It was around 20 degrees outside, and i had been running the rear defrost for about 10 minutes. After some research online i discovered that this is a problem with the rear defrost. Thankfully my child was not in the car with me as his car seat is directly under the window. He would have been showered with tiny shards of glass. |
