Exploding Back Glass

[swooshdave]

Tempered glass is used because it's safer when it breaks. The alternative is plate glass that breaks into sharp shards.

Some folks here with some ignorant complaining.

It probably got angry, that glass has a temper.

Seriously tho, the number with glass problems is disturbing.

It seems like the glass is thin on my bronco, but I just checked against my explorer and the door window glass is thicker than my explorer has and rear window on bronco appears thicker than bronco door window.

Can you send this along in a private message? We can continue our conversation there. Thanks! I also recommend you delete your previous comment, as it contains your VIN which is considered personally identifiable information (PII).

You need to delete your post too because the info is quoted...

We have not had a reason to use the back defrost yet. So, no we did not have that on, nor have we ever had it on.
I have not waxed it yet either.

But thank you all for responding.
I have heard of tempered glass exploding, but I have never experienced it.
Scared the whiz out of me and my wife.

Happened in my Mustang. Driver’s side window blew up on the highway at 70 mph. I thought I’d been shot.

Hunter in the woods maybe?

JMHunter - Mustang passenger tempered glass exploded.
Was it within the warranty mileage and if yes, did Ford cover it under warranty?
I am looking at possibly at least $1100 bill.

Sounds like an old XJ, the back glass would bust if you farted too hard. Broke my XJ’s glass a couple times with no explanation either.
