Description of the problem | I had my 2010 ford escape parked in my garage at my house and i opened my rear lift gate to get something out of the back. When i shut the lift gate like normal the glass exploded all over. There was nothing in the rear that came in contact with the glass or lift gate to cause it to explode or shatter in anyway. I was lucky to have only gotten a minor cut from the glass shard if i was standing somewhere else i could have gotten seriously injured. |
