Subject: Re: Rear window disintergrates...


So sorry to hear that, cannot be of any help, but I once (waaaay back) experienced a similar situation, as a certified mech closed the driver's side door with the window fully closed (manual) on a 1987 900, the window shattered.... note: this was in mid-summer at an official SAAB dealer in the Netherlands..... wierd stuff, glass...... Tim Wise <tjwnopsamnet.au> wrote in message 3b2d90c6nopsamns1.netconnect.net.au... |Has any one else in this news group experienced this problem? | |I have a 1997 900 S Talladega 3 door that was parked outside |last night, it was a very cold night with the temperature below | 0 degrees C. | |I got up early to go to the airport, took some bags out to the car |and put them in the back through the hatch which was covered in frost, |or at least what looked like very heavy frost. (Very light frost and a |shattered windscreen.) | |Went back to get a second load and as I closed the hatch a small chunk |of glass dropped out of the center of the rear hatch window. Then I noticed, |(in the dark) that the entire rear hatch glass had shattered and stayed in |the frame? | |Anyone have this happen to them? | |Seems unlikely someone could belt the window hard enough to shatter it and |yet leave |it in the frame. | |The only theory I could come up with was water getting under the rubber |seals and then |freezing and the resultant expansion of ice shattered the glass, although I |believe the hatch |is encapsulated glass so this seems unlikely. | |Replacement glass is over $900AUS which I'm told is not that expensive |compared to |other makes. | |Any ideas? | |
