My lucky days just don't seem to end...

Came outside just now and when closed the door in my Evo, eard pieces of my rear winshield fall. Looked and it was all shattered. When I was coming out to warm up my car, nothing was wrong. Check everything inside and stones or bb gun bullets. Seemed to explode due to cold weather.....

I'm just wondering if my insurance will pay for it. I have nationwide full coverage, but don't know if they have deductable on glass. I know some insurance companies don't (they allow you 3 claims a year). Gonna call mine tomorrow.

Yep, I've got no imotions right now, just sick of it all.

P.S My mom backed into my Evo just 2 days go....Here is a thread

some places cover glass without a deductiblelike I think AAA did, but I have state farm now and have a 500$ glass deductible.

Then what could? No footsteps on my driveway, no stones, etc. I had my trunk covered in snow, spoiler too. Nothing there.... I just can't think of anything else then.

But if it's due to cold weather, then what would happen if it was around 15 F? Evo would fall apart?

Could just claim some hooligans backed into your car, broke your rear winshield.. then fled.

yeah if you had snow on there, and you had the rear defroster running it will crack, and it prob shattered from the shock when you closed the door. I had my front windshield crack from the defogger and snow. cost me $500 installed and OEM too, not too sure about the rear
