Flawless - Is there a little cratering on the glass in the red circle? This really looks like a pellet shot. They are soft lead and break when they hit sometimes. The two marks on the metal are ricochets of pieces. (It might actually have gone the other way, its hard to tell without knowing the possible angles.) Also, it looks like there is a major horizontal crack coming out from the red circled area. Is that real? That sort of line would be another indicator of a pellet or relatively small object striking at high speed.

Yes thats a real horizontal line. If you looks at the glass (in person) you can see a whole bunch of horizontal lines from where the heat defrosters are. Looks as thought they caused the glass to split in certain regions.

 

Sry to see that, here is utah its seems popular to shoot out windows (cars and bussinesses) it happens almost nightly..Stupid kids, I will kill any one that plans on vandalizing my 8.

 

damnit you guys beat me to it, it has to be a BB gun. My brother got his window shot out about 2 years ago and i know what that looks like. That sucks so bad, what a lame thing to do especially on such a beauty.

 

The rear window of my VW Rabbit back in the 80s shattered suddenly, but it was 1 minute after a drive-in carwash, and I noted I accidentally had my rear window defroster on. I still initially thought someone shot it. Anyone heard of a window breaking from a carwash?

 

Stupid punks. That makes me mad to see that.

With my first RX-7, I was visiting my parents and some punk neighbor kid near my parent's house hit the back window with a wrench. Looked just like your window. I couldn't prove that he did it. Mean people s*ck.

 

my friends old integra's front windshield cracked in a car wash. one of those high powered ones at a gas station. you hear a loud "pop" and the whole thing frosts over - kinda cool. of course, his car was a beater and the windshield already had several rather long cracks running in it.

 

how do they get a replacement rear window being it has the radio antenna and the defroster? I can't imagaine Joe's Window repair will have these items.

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. I've never heard of anything like that happening. I guess I've been lucky all these years racing over speed bumps in my cars. I'm taking it a little bit slower in the 8, don't want to scrape any of the pretty appearance package parts. :D

 

Still trying to decide if this is worse or the guy that got drive-by arrowed in the door.

 

How hot was it? If u left your car for a while in teh sun with no windows open your windows can blowout. It happened to my mom In nj a couple of years ago. When ever i leave my car for a long period of time i crack a window. The the reason the glass didnt shatter was because you have tints.

Well anyway goodluck in the future. Also when they replace the window make sure they seal it the right way. My freind has a honda accord and his back window was replaced, so everytime it rains he has a pool in his trunk.
