Window Break Rant

[cody93]

the ranger i got has had its rear windows broken before, and the person who did it stole one of those police radar detectors(remeber those?) the solution was just to slap on a crudy campershell now that i got the truck, i went to pick n pull an pulled the whole sliding back window assembly for 50$, complete with glass too! the 88's dont got screws, wich makes it easy, just some glue and this tar like stuff that seals it. well actually, gona wait to i move to arkansas to install the good body parts i picked up, the bay area of california is a bad place to have nice cars. congrats on gettin a free window, looks nice, minus the apple(jk....mabey)

Sometimes window just blow out for no reason at all. a chip or scratch in the glass, combined with a strange temperature change can equal a bang. I was driving over the Calf Robe bridge north (for those of you knowing that bridge its a stupid one where there have been thousands of accidents over the years, its a 100km zone with stupidly sharp curves over a river and the bridge freezes in the winter, who was the genius that thought that one up?). It was about 1 or 2 in the morning and I was the only car there, and since its over the river and part of the Queen Elizabeth highway there are no sidewalks. I was taking a left curve and out of no where I hear a BANG and my passenger window is being held up by the tint. No hole and there was no damage to the window previous to what I know of, just where I was there were no cars around me for quite a distance, and there is no place for anyone to stand and throw anything, and just where the break extended from, I couldn't have flipped a rock up. it was very odd. but it was about -15C outside and over the river it can get warmer if there is no wind.

My dad was driving his '07 International (work truck) home one day up I-93 and his driver's side window shatter for no apparent reason. Scarey. The worst part is that he still had 60 miles to drive to get home in sub zero weather!
