Description of the problem	Shortly after 8 am on friday, november 1, 2019, the rear window of my 2015 forester spontaneously exploded. It blew outward, with some glass pieces flying nearly 20 feet. At the time of the explosion, the vehicle was parked in my driveway and the outside temperature was 34 degrees. Upon close inspection of the remaining glass pieces, i could see the rear window had bowed out before exploding outward. The entire window was shattered.
