| Description of the problem | Remote started my pickup on a cold morning. Doing this it automatically turns on the defrosters and the one in the rear window. Was driving to work and hear a loud pop. Wasn't until that night that i noticed that loud pop was a rear window shattering. Something with the defroster in the back window malfunctioned causing the glass to shatter. In pictures you can clearly see that no object struck the window because there is no indentations. |
