Spontaneous window shatter

Hi
I went out to my GTO on sunday morning to find that the whole rear window has shattered. It is still in place but the glass is fractured into 1000s of tiny pieces. I haven’t found any evidence of impact. Has anyone on here experienced the same thing with their GTO? Ive read all sorts of things on the internet about possible causes form temperature changes to pressure inside the car. Is anyone aware of a design fault in the rear windows that had to be recalled?

Thanks
Si

Hi,

Never heard of that on a gto.

Cheers,
Neil.

Sounds to me like that’s had a high speed impact direct to the glass. Even a stone off a tennis racket could do it ( only know it to be true as my brother aged 6 did it to a car in our street once!!)

Hi thanks for replies.
Unless I can find a breaker I’m looking at getting a dirt cheap gto and having the rear window off it. However if buy a mk1 is the rear window the same. Mine is a 95" mr

Thanks in advance
