Hey guys,
Haven't been on here in a while, dropped in to ask a couple questions because of a crisis. My car was outside overnight, temperature got down to about 40* I believe. I drove the car to work, on the way I used the rear windshield defroster so I could see in my rear view. I parked the car in a parking uncovered. I was walking back to my car to go to lunch and realized that the rear windshield was shattered and hanging on by the two defroster pieces on both sides. It was perfectly cracked and broken around the edges of the window just hanging there.
Do you guys have any idea what could of caused this? My guess is the rapid temperature change because it got up to 80* around noon because I've never heard of this being a problem. My insurance company uses Safelight repair and they quoted me over $1k for the window and installation. I would only have to pay my deductible ($500) Is this ridiculous? I also found replacements on American Muscle: Mustang Replacement Convertible Glass Rear Window (94-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! Now I know this doesn't have defrost capabilities but is significantly cheaper.
I'm looking for advice on what I should do? Have any of you ever had to deal with this with a vert? Thank you for any help or replies
