Seems odd. Have you really looked the glass over to see if there was any sign of something hitting it? I was driving and my windshield shattered, but mine was clearly from something hitting it from above. No one around but I was near an airport so the thought is that when a plane dropped its landing gear something fell out and hit my windshield. If no signs of someting breaking it, then I'd say factory defect and at least let the dealer review it. Or maybe harmonics from the exhaust did fatigue it but typically that is vibrations in steel and not in glass. Heck all of us with sub woofers will be playing them a little lower until you get to the bottom of this.

Be glad your window was tinted in the first place. It saved you from having a back seat full of glass.

Still a strange circumstance, please let us all know if you ever find out what did it.

It was AX7, changing up their style again!


Seriously bizarre though. Doesn't seem to a visible point of impact...

Depending on where you were, maybe some rotten kids were throwing rocks over the brick wall onto the freeway and happen to get your window. I went to a family party once and the house was on the other side of highway 880. Next thing i know, some pink kids were throwing rocks over the wall trying to hit cars. Or not to mention how crappy our roads in the bay area are. Either way sorry to hear that bro.
