Never dropped below 50* lastnight.

 

either vandalism or a complete freak of nature, take it as either...odd time with rear window defrosters it can happens as well, but very rare....I'd spray Plasti-dip or similar on the 'glass' to hold it together for removal, it gets everywhere...

 

Could you have closed the door and window trying to close catching the wet lip somehow causing the stress crack ?

Maybe some metal contact on glass causing it to crack. Years back I had a mobile audio shop and watched a tech tucking the wires from and antenna mount for cellphones using his metal tuck tool . One odd contact and caused a windshield to spider crack in front of both our eyes

 

this is what will ( or will not ) get you reimbursed from your insurance company if you bother filing a claim. it probably isn't worth one (?)

Clause 19. Force Majeure
(Force Majeure).

 

Window must have been seated outside of the seal when door was closed, causing tension.

 

good thought, I had a microswitch fail causing inconsistent window not to go down when door open

 

Relay failure or, why did you state that you "rolled the passenger window down?" Why? Who has access to this garage?


Sucks to hear this news either way.

 

I have seen/read this happen before on sunroofs. They just spontaneously shatter.

 

If the window regulator caused the window to be under pressure until it broke - Wouldn't that have caused the whole thing to break apart once the window shattered as the motor continued to push after the window had broken? The fact that it stayed in place after breaking would suggest the window just shattered with no external forces at play.

 

I just found the answer. No Ghost or relays. You have the "Dealers window!" Duh!

Lol funny stuff

 

Hopefully you got it fixed and that it won't happen again. Thought of this post when I saw it.

 

Window tint?

 

That could be... I didn't notice tint in the picture...

 

Well...... It just happened again!! Exact same scenario. Washed car yesterday, pulled it back into the garage, rolled passenger window down halfway, hooked up battery tender through cigarette lighter and this is what I come home too. Not real happy at the moment.
