It happened again.

so I can see my car outside my office all day, I stared at it several times throughout the day wanting to just go home 4:30 just onemore hour! . well 5:30 finally roles around and I walk out to my car and WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

my back windshield IMPLODED AGAIN. I was so fuckin pissed. I called up the company who replaced it 16 months ago and told them the situation

"did someone try to break into the car or throw something thru it?"

"No its in the back lot of a highly trafficked business building its been parked all day there was nothing wrong with the windshield and no one has touched it. It exploded in the parking lot while parked."

I mean it was only like 84 today I was so pissed. It has to be with heat and pressure or something

anyway they are sending someone out tomm to look at it and determine from the impact point(there isnt one) if it falls under their lifetime limited warranty and they should replace it for free.

we are also writing pontiac to find out whaqt the FUCK is going on thats twice the windshield has imploded all over the car seat and back. Thank god my daughter wasnt in it she would have been completely covered.

yea my wife sent an inquiry to pontiac with photos from both occasions.

Ill be damned if im paying 200 bucks again someone else is taking care of that. I have NEVER seen it before in my life and now twice in 16 months?

I mean this time we didnt even close a door to cause a surge of pressure. the thing just POPPED parked in the parking lot

You wouldn't have to worry about your daughter. I think windshield glass is made to fracture in a way so that it doesn't cut when broken. I'm probably wrong. I dunno.

that shit sucks though. fix dat shit.

I assure you that is not a known issue of pontiac Sunfires. (have you checked to see if the pressure releif gate is blocked in the trunk ?). It is on the passenger side part of the trunk on the wall, just pull th carpet off and look. IF it is blocked, then this explains your issue.

make a sunroof by cutting a huge hole in it with a buzz saw. problem solved.

I had no idea there were such things, but it makes sense. Check it out nyck.

On J-Body's (Sunfires/Cavaliers) all it is is a rectangle shaped gate, divided into 8 sections, with a flap on the outside. (THis prevents water from coming in)
