Default rear window exploded

i am surprised to find that others have also had exploding windows like i experienced this morning in my HHR. i ducked when it occurred, but now the cost of replacing something that potentially could have been a manufacturing error from the start ? if anyone could please advise it would be appreciated

Thumbs down

Same thing happen to me. My Car is 4 months old and Sunroof exploded while driving, Not near a bridge, not near a large truck. I was expecting to see a rock or what have you when I pulled over. It appears the glass exploded out, not it, about the size of a soccer ball. Called dealership 3 x and was eventually pushed away to a private glass installer. In the mean time, I am personally paying for a renter car while the chevy glass specific for my car is shipped to my repair shop. Very disappointed in the service dealership.

When we stopped to investigate, there was a huge hole in the glass and the remaining glass was shattered right to the edges.

There were no cars directly in front of us and I can't be sure, but I don't think that a vehicle passed us going the other direction.

Freaky. Of course, I don't have glass insurance so I'm not covered that way. Will call the dealership on Monday to see what they say but I think I'm stuck. It was so random. I'm just glad that I had the sunshade pulled and no one was hurt.
HHR was not designed to drive with the windows down, you get alot of back pressure from the windows, and possibly can shatter your glass
