Rear Window 2005 Coupe

	Just wondering if anyone has heard of this. My 2005 vette was sitting in my driveway 62 degrees outside temp for about 20 minutes. I was cleaning the rear plate frame when the rear window exploded. All the windows were closed at the time and it made the same sound as if you threw a match in a can of gasoline. I did catch this on a security video but that shows nothing other than the window imploding. Any known causes? Has anyone ever heard of this? Thanks

	Years ago it was over 100 degrees out. I walk out to car, open door and my back windshield shattered into a million pieces. It stayed intact. I took a pic, showed a neighbor before it crumbled.

	H'm. Pure speculation: Possibly there are fitup issues with those curved windows and it was installed stressed. A little thermal movement of the window frame might have been the last straw for it. Was there perhaps bright sunshine hitting the car from one side or quarter, causing uneven heating around the window? I'd also wonder if there's any possibility at all that it got hit by a stray BB shot or something. -- Vandervecken Bubba1 wrote:> Just wondering if anyone has heard of this.

Thanks One of the techs at the factory was trying to explain to me the bonding process for rear window that lets it "float". Done incorrectly, the stresses of heating/cooling can't be absorbed and the tempered glass lets loose all at once. These movements are minor but still need to be allowed for. Now, how badly were you hurt by the negligence of the manufacturer that is now captured on video? That bad, huh. Just kidding but it might cause some puckering if you sent a copy of the video to GM and a letter explaining how you are now afraid to drive the coupe because it could happen again and perhaps they would like to put you in a fully optioned 2006 convertible (or a ZO6 vert when they are released!) to alleviate your anxiety - worth a try. 05 Mag Red, rear window intact.

My son heard his rear window shatter as he walked away from his car one night. He immediately assumed that it had just blown out for some unexplained reason. Then he saw several other cars in the lot of his apartment building with cracked glass. He called the cops who napped a kid with a BB gun in a neighboring apartment building.

Thanks When I was in the plant last Sept. they were having an issue with some rear hatches and the window installation. There were a few sitting around in different stages of completion that they were working on. What the exact problem was is unknown to me but it did relate to the gluing process and/or fit. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd

The most likely cause is a manufacturing defect in the glass. There are a lot of Corvettes out there that sit in hot sun for hours without the glass cracking. Good luck!

My neighbor has #720 and has had many small problems and a few major that were fixed ASAP. One was the breaklines running to close to the exhaust and another was a yellow cable that controlled the driver seat. They were taken care of very quickly howewver he was told when he bought the car that it was a presentation model so he may have some problems. When he picked up his 05 it didn't have the outside emblems on it, they took a week to get. Also he was told that the first 700 cars went to Canada and Europe. I do remember him driving the car very early July / Augusty 04 and I had been calling around and no one in CT/NJ/NY had any to sell. He still breaks em off a little on that one but it's all in fun. One last thing when he picked up his car it only had 3 miles on it so it wasn't used as a demo I guess.
