Need a Spot
glass debris all over my seat on the car mat etc...went over the cctv in our building garage just to checked no one tried to jack the car or get at any stuff in my ride (never leave anything of value in it anyways)......was told its been known to happen with our weather (tropical) and age of the glass....anyone of you guys ever experience this?

Window glass doesn't age much in the time of Monteros, not like it is Baroque. It is possible that the right temp/air pressure/torque on the glass would cause it to self destruct.

I've never heard of such a thing myself. I suppose it's possible, but I don't see how.

I once passed a truck going in the opposite direction, and a rock came off and smashed my LHS window. Luckily I was sitting the right (advantage: RHD!) but still got glass in my hair, ear, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> and coffee.

I never did find the rock. It didn't come into my Paj. Is it possible that a projectile hit it, either off of a passing vehicle, or from someone's hand? Wouldn't necessarily be in camera range...?

Slingshot, BB gun... or a small rock thrown really hard.
