Wow i have been working on cars for some time and never heard of that happening; i have had the tabs break off the bottom of the glass causing the glass to fall into the door and shatter. but WOW thats nuts, Where you putting your window up or down at the time it shattered? If it was jammed and your were trying to put it up the pressure could have done it but most likely it would have burned the window motor first or bent the regulator. Please keep us informed

The window was working fine about 45 minutes before. I left work and cracked all 4 to cool the car off, then closed them all and turned on the AC. I made one stop and then got back on the road with the windows still up. It shattered about 30 minutes after that. I was not attempting to adjust it at all ... I was just driving. Who knows ... really weird.

Maybe your car threw off one of its fireballs and it traveled all the way around the world and came back and broke your own window!.....Maybe?!
Glad you are ok....that looks like it really sucked.
Maybe instead of a new window you should just get one of those NASCAR window nets.

When I found the rock, you could see markings on one side of it as if something pinched (like a tire) it and it shot out. I too was on a highway with a wall on one side and some buildings on the other. Luckily my window was down and my rear didn't get busted out.
Glad your alright though.

working for Honda in parts, ive actually have had multiple people calling saying that their side windows just shattered out of nowhere (no clue why). A couple came in for repair...unfortunately without proof of a failing part/problem we could not warranty the repair.
Maybe in your case you'll get lucky!

It's all on the left side of the seat as you can see. That slid down off the side of my leg and from the seat bolster I'd guess. When I stood up it flattened out a bit since my leg wasn't holding it up in to a pile anymore. I'm not sure why so much is at the back of the seat ... maybe it slid back there while I drove to park?
I took those pics after parking and getting out of the car. I had my DSLR in the car with me.

thats why i like tint when your glass goes boom it doesnt get everywhere.....this is a first for me....i think they are going to think you are lying.....leave it up to your insurance or pay for it out of your pocket.....if they do fix it at the dealer then you are a lucky man.
