passenger window blow in?

Riding in our new 06 CC, on I-10 leaving New Orleans, going to the NHRA Sports Nationals and bang...

No warning, I assume it was a rock, but it scared the heck out of my wife who was right there and my 7 yr old daughter in the back.

In 22 years of driving this was a first for me.

 

Someone posted about the exact same thing happening to them quite a while ago. I'd do a search. I wish I could remember more, but it's been a while.

 

Dang man, never heard of that. Sure glad no one was hurt. Something must have hit the glass. Maybe one of the Louisiana skeeters. I had a drivers side blow out on me when I swapped mirrors with another SD on a narrow road. Glass was everywhere. I was covered and glad I was alone. Again, Glad no one was hurt.

 

My passenger window did the same thing a few months back(in my 2002)...i was driving along the interstate here in TX and BOOM scared the living you what out of me first thing i did was check to make sure no one took a pop shot at me. i never found a rock and there were no cars near me when it happened. So who knows why it did it

 

That was my first thought. Kenner is not the best part of NO. I was in the fast lane so I slowed and got over to the curb. All the while asking if everyone was OK.

Once I stopped, put my work gloves on and removed the glass from my wife. She got out and started crying then my daughter started.

When I got home I didn't find a rock or anything in the cab. I did find a new scratch on the rear door on the passenger side. So something must have hit it.

 

and imagine, i threw my dang trailer hitch at the vent window of 1995 f350 because i locked my keys in it. the stupid thing didn't break!!! it bounced off, so i got some sense into me and called a locksmith.

 

When my glass broke I was moving sorta fast to. The glass caused some scratches on the side of my truck and the door post.

 

When it happened to me down in Corpus Christi, I looked for rocks or bullets in the glass but the smell of Shi.... cut my search short.

 

Hey mine happened on SPID near webber and i tell ya i was not sure what the hell to do when i pulled over and got out of the truck

 

Make sure you've got a full mag and a round chambered, just in case.

 

Autobahn,

Maybe a seagull was packing a bb-gun?

Good to see that you're still around!

 

Holy cow....that is horrible. Never had that happen before. I knew of one during the hottest part ofthe summer blow OUT from heat and pressure.

 

I did that in an '89 T-bird... driving along, BANG - driver's side window shatters.

If the glass was scratched badly enough, and it heats up in the sun when the window was rolled up hard (manually or electrically), the expansion of the glass will push the wrong way and that crack goes.

I do remember the glass in the t-bird being pretty scratched before it happened. Just a theory, really...

 

Were your windows tinted? Window tint usually holds the glass from going everywhere, even if your windows are tinted from the factory you can still put the lightest shade on to protect you from such mishaps.

 

No I just got the truck on March 25th.

Factory "Privacy Glass" was all. So the glass wasn't scratched.

I especially like the comment about the smell of **it interferring with the search for a projectile.

It definitely happened so fast I wasn't to scared. And it took a few seconds for it to sink in on my wife.

Alls well that ends well. No one was hurt!!!
