| Description of the problem | While driving to work on the morning of january 18, 2018, i heard my truck make a fairly loud "pop" sound that came from somewhere directly behind me. Due to the cold temperatures we have been experiencing here in indiana i didn't think much of the sound. I assumed it was just cold parts moving or maybe i had ran over a small pot-hole. After finishing my work day i returned to my truck, which was locked and parked in a safe location away from any hazards, to find my rear window blown out on the drivers side. The window was completely shattered into tiny pieces but managed to stay held together by the factory tint i assume. However there was a small hole where glass was missing in the center portion of the window. One could tell by looking at the window that it had exploded from the inside out because the window was pushed outward toward the truck bed with some small pieces of glass landing in the bed of the truck. |
