| Description of the problem | On the night of 01/13/2021 i left my suv parked outside for the first time in 25 decree weather . The next morning at 5am i started my car by remote start to get the ice off the windows . I then drove to work and parked my suv. When i went to leave at 3pm the rear window was shattering you could even hear it cracking all over it it blew a hole in it ! There was not o piece of the rear window that was not shattered . My suv was parked with the rear window facing the sun. My suv has always been kept in my heated garage at night unt the night in question ! I do not know if the heat from the sun caused this to happen do to the window being so cold! But i do know it was parked in a private parking lot with nothing around it ! I would appreciate any input on this matter! Thanks |
