Back hard top window randomly broke

Should start a thread and only folks with no issues can post to it. Get some better stats.

Man that thread would be more deserted than a Chick-fil-A on a Sunday.

Only one strut on a HT? That could be a problem.

There were 2 struts, the passenger side fell inward.

I will say that I noticed that both on my son's and my bronco which we just bought, when you close the rear tailgate, you can see the window/glass bow in. I was quite suprised as I have never experienced such behavoir in any of our several jeeps before

So Ford/my dealer wouldn't even consider this as being a warranty item. Luckily I have $0 deductible on glass, Safelite has to order the glass from Ford and supposedly they can have it within a week (not holding my breath).

Aren’t you the guy who was getting rescued in the snow and hotdogged it through the ditch?

Cold, so cold!

The word Jeep is staring to look better and better.

There sure seems to be a lot of one offs happening for no reason. Should start a thread and only folks with no issues can post to it. Get some better stats.

Numerous issues with the Jeep JLU back window over the years as well....I have a 2020 JLU too, so I see it all over the Jeep forums..

Bummer! At least you have good insurance

That's kinda surprising. Any amount of time on Reddit and you'll see plenty of "my brand new oven's glass exploded" posts. Tempered glass isn't perfect, especially when subject to temperature variations

So I went to go to the store this morning and my garaged broncos back window was blown out. Has anyone seen anything like? I don't even know if this would be something warranty would fix, it's Sunday so I can't call. It looks like it blew outward.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

what year was his F150?

Probably a stress crack and some pressure somewhere that eventually deformed the glass, shattering it outwards. Definitely should be a warranty request; make sure and take lots of pictures, maybe @ their rep on here. Could've just been a bad install originally, or a defect in the glass itself.

Incidentally, my neighbor's F-150 did this very thing the other day.

2019/2020 I believe.

Do you have..... kids?

By any chance had you been using the rear window defroster? F-150's have an issue when the rear defrost is used as the glass warms up it shatters.
