This is a fairly common problem it appears. This happened on my 10 year M800, while driving. Suddenly the front windscreen shattered. Luckily no one was hurt. Could never figure out the reason for this.

Re: Window glass burst - Can this happen ?

I was driving Indica vista today on Trichy highway and heard "blast" sound at rear and found back glass was shattered to tiny pieces and luckily no one was hurt in rear seat. Given below were the events occurred:
  • Avg. Speed: 70kmph
  • Climate: Raining heavily
  • Car AC: ON, in between Cool & Hot mode, Circulation off (to let outside air IN)
  • AC heater: Turned the control knob to hot mode for 15-20min
  • Rear Defogger was ON for 10-15 min (at the time of breakage, it was not ON, switched off may be 30min-1hr before)
  • Pot hole: Drove into a large size pot hole at 50-60kmph
  • Light: Parking light ON
  • Changed 55W light to 100W with the required electrical cut-out accessory.
  • Car is 2010 model

Attached the pics for ref. Request expert opinion on the cause?

Re: Window glass burst - Can this happen ?

Similar thing happened to me.

Wasn't driving. Due to heavy rain removed the car from the basement parking and parked it outside. It was there overnight. In the morning when I wanted to park it back in the basement noticed this.

No idea what caused this. Several other cars were also parked outside alongside. But none of them suffered this. No, not a break in.
