i heard of a friend who cracked his front glass supposedly by heating up the glass to quick . He was running late for school, hopped in his hummer and was gunnin it the whole way and I guess the heater gettin hot faster than the window cracked it. but Ive never heard of a glass just shattering out like that.

Yeah there must have been a small crack/chip that wasn't visible, and the quick temp change just pushed it over the edge. Anyways, I have full glass coverage with $0 deductible, so a new one is going in tomorrow morning!

Must heat up too fast or something. Kinda like throwing hot water on a cold window

exactly what i was thinking..

 

[rgaffney]

I had no idea that could even happen

I've heard that it's from having a short in one of the wires for the defrost....the glass is real cold and that short get's real hot and BAM!!!! bye bye window
