| Description of the problem | The vehicle was parked with all windows down, heard a loud noise looked back to see the rear door window shatter completely. Upon inspection, there was no sign of any foreign objects inside or outside the vehicle. The window pulled away about 3/4 inch on both edges, it bowed outwards and there was a rectangular opening in the glass about 6 inches wide by 2 inches high. The local dealer concurred that it was not a normal reaction to the glass being hit by an object but said no incidents have been reported therefore will not pay for the cost of the glass. *jb |
