Description of the problem | June 16/2015, at 12:40 est, the top rear window of my '13 veloster shattered when i closed the driver side door. This happened after having lunch in the car for 1/2 hour with the windows open. The temperature was in the mid 70s. It happened with the windows closed when the door was shut as i exited the vehicle. The rear hatch and both front passenger doors were used twice earlier in the morning with no damage observed. The vehicle sat outside in the sun for 4 1/2 hours before lunch. Recently, there had been some severe rain and high wind, but no hail. Temperatures had gone into the upper 80s in the last week. The glass completely shattered into small pieces and left a large hole in the center. The shape of the glass where the hole was appeared to be pushed out. That section and much more of the glass fell into the back of the vehicle while driving home. I was told by a service manager at the hyundai dealership that it was not covered under warranty. |
