Description of the problem | I was traveling on the hwy at 70mph and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. I looked around and heard what ended up being glass falling into my rear seat. My rear panoramic glass had shattered and blown upward in a way i've never seen before and i had no idea what caused it, as there were only clothes and a box in the rear seat. I took it to ford and made a claim which was denied. I am confident this problem is a manufacturing defect, but ford says this breakage would only happen upon installation due to using tempered glass. I don't believe that because nothing hit mine and still, it shattered. I also have a leaking roof, which may be related to this problem. |
