That had to been stress. I’ve had my jeep at 110 in Arizona.
Your first guess is the right guess. The window had some sort of defect in it, possibly a small stone indentation or something like that, and the sun hit it directly and pop it goes. I had the same thing happen to my front windshield about a month ago here in South Carolina, luckily it just cracked and did not explode.
No kidding! I bet that is what happened to mine as well
9:30 ~ Great job using your head. No offense, that install is a two-man job.
Where's Eric when you need him?
Just, bit of advice Bro, keep a pair of work-gloves in the vehicle just in case.
Nice shirt brother 🇺🇸 "its this window, he hates this window" had me cracking up. Not many people randomly quote The Jerk but dammit if that movie isn't 10/10.
Excellent videos. Please keep posting.
I've heard of similar things happening, but never seen it caused from heat...usually its from something being off centered or at some other stress point when being opened or closed.
I shattered the back window on a camper shell on my pickup a while back because the gas struts I bought that were supposed to work, worked so well it snapped the window when I got it about 1/4 of the way open, it flew up like a jet plane taking off....hmm, maybe not the right struts LOL. I took them off, got the window fixed, and never put struts on it, used an old broom handle for a prop after that LOL.
Slight score/scratch + heat = boom. Have seen it within the fleet I managed many times.
The same happened to me about month ago to my ZJ. Rear window exploded without any apparent reason and since I live in good neighborhood I suspect some internal tension. Unfortunately where I live there are no junkyards overflowing with Jeep parts Good job, Doug!
"Hotter than a two-dollar pistol."
That's a Dan Rather-ism, I think.
He also said, "Hotter than a Times Square Rolex!" and, "Hotter than a Dallas parking lot!"
(He explained that he worked in an oil field in Texas as a young man, and there's only so many times you can say, "It's hotter than Hell!")
Anyway, just wanted to share since I noticed in another video that you said the two-dollar pistol line.
Haha. Thanks bud! There are only so many family friendly ways to proclaim it is f'in HOT!
George Jones had a song called "Hotter Than a Two Dollar Pistol"back in the day...
The laser beam backpack is a heck of a thing. Glad everyone survived, sorry about your head liner. Also, nice Jerk reference lol
Bud I am SO glad someone got that joke. Thank you! Aldo, yea. If I hadn't seen the backpack death ray myself I would not have believed it
bill wurtz reference got me 😂
I'm thinking on Stress on the window
Somehow.
That is crazy about the backpack and the headliner. Wow
lol ur hilarious love the content!
Weather will do some crazy things. Stay cool.
Back glass popped on my 2000 wj one day, turns out, a 50+ ft 3ft wide cedar tree decided to snap and fall right on it during a storm lol, that’ll definitely make and glass explode
Yep that happened to me before I believe your theory on the gas shocks might be the reason. Either that or the heat just built up too much pressure on the inside of your vehicle that happens a lot out here in the communist republic of California's High Desert you have to roll your windows down just a tiny bit to let the pressure out
Seriously? That is wild. It is more the humidity here. It doesn't get all the hot in comparison
@@DEInTheGarage Yeah thats true but if enough radiant heat builds up inside a car it could create enough pressure to blow out a window
Double D I love your style
Haha. Thanks bud! I am coming around to the "stress in the window" idea
Really like that I can roll down the rear window in my 4runner
I’m just thinking damn dougie with fresh shaped up beard oh who needs a back window anyway
Omg this just happened to me on my 18 2 door jk. Got it replaced threw insurance
85° lol its 109 where I'm at haha
This happened to one of my cars once, blew the drivers window out just sitting in the driveway hot day in summer all windows closed and barometric pressure change and 💥
its gotta be a tension or pressure build up.
I was going to get a set of gas shocks for my back window but no more will keep the wood stick thanks
You can probably downgrade them if you really try. If you find out what the factory ones are rated to lift, you can order something else that will fit (from someone like McMaster-Carr) but is meant for less weight.
I THINK that would solve the problem in the warmer months, and then you'd switch back to regular ones for the winter. (I'm not positive that I'm right...)
i've had birds drop food stuff to break it open on my project vehicle's windshield's took me a while to figure out it wasn't a kid with bb pistol
This happened to me about 20 or 21 years ago on my 94 gmc sonoma except it was my windshield that cracked all over the place and it was way hotter like close to 110 degrees and this was in Missouri. Now I worked for at that time at a car dealership and some of the guys that worked there were sketchy as heck and down right jerks so I don't know if it was really the heat or one of those guys smashed my windshield the reason why I say this cause the windshield caved in like someone smashed it and I didn't really do anything other than have the windshield replaced cause the guy that owned the place was a friend of my brother in law. I also wanted to say I've asked several people including windshield install techs and they've never seen it happen but maybe happen but they were not sure.
Lee Boyd Malvo was just released from prison??
..... I had to goggle it 😂
Dont know why it happened,just sucks that it did Douglas....
