Sable 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,000 miles
While driving to work on one of the first "cold" days this fall, my wife had the right rear window implode into the back seat. There was no apparent projectile, no forewarning other than a light crackling noise before the glass rained into the car.

The left rear window suddenly imploded into the car, shattering into several hundred small pieces. There was no rock or other projectile. The temperature contrast between inside and outside was not great.
