Consumer Description

SOMETHING BROKE THE LOWER SIDE DASH WINDOW LT SIDE. THE GLASS IS BONDED TO THE FRAME WITH A RUBBER LIKE SUBSTANCE. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TEMPERED GLASS WHICH NORMALLY BREAK INTO SMALL SQUARES AND ARE FAIRLY HARMLESS. THIS WINDOW BROKE INTO SHARP STICK LIKE SHARDS RADIATING AROUND THE FRACTURE SITE AT THE TOP AREA WHERE THE GLASS WAS BONDED TO THE FRAME. THIS IS THE FIRST WINDOW BREAK WE HAVE HAD ON A C2 AND WE WERE ALARMED AT THE FAILURE OF THE GLASS TO DISINTEGRATE INTO THE USUAL SMALL SQUARES. DOES THE BONDING HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHANGE IN THE PATTERN? *TR
