Rear Glass Cracks?
tintpioneer
noticed after doing a ford mustang there was a sort of crack poking out of the top corners{both left and right} coming from under where the glass tucks into the outside molding... about 3 inches from where the tint ends,,, it looks like a bullseye type of crack,,,and on both top sides,,,do you think this is a manufacturer defect?
Mdog
never heard or seen that before, must be a defect.
GeorgiaTinter
Bullseye cracks are normally found on windshields....they are impact marks usually associated with flying rocks or similar. Mainly found on laminated glass where the top or outer pane is damaged but the inner or lower is still intact....makes a bullseye.

that will Work!!!
Mdog
never heard of bullsyes cracks on the backglass though.

That's what I was thinking
It's not just a line coming from the corners?
Mdog
seems like that glass would shatter since its tempered, really odd.

Cars get towed or shiped backwards.. bugs,,chips,,etc
tintdude
yup, it must be something else, tempered glass shatters to a thousand pieces once it loses integrity
tintpioneer
not like a stone bullseye crack,,,weird it looks like a section of shattered glass ,,,but the size and shape of ,,say a stick of chewing gum,,,would overheating the rear glass when dry shrinking have caused it? :uh :sad ,,i m not saying i did it,,,i doubt it very much because its on both top corners,,,and customer surely would have bitched if i did it,,,im sure it was there before i started and i didnt notice because it was raining when car came in,,, but i am curious now
Mdog
wasnt a refurbished title car was it?

You're right....shouldn't happen on non laminated glass....no idea what could have caused it...seems like too much of a coincidence to be on both corners...maybe it did happen during manufacturing
GeorgiaTinter
Could it have to do with the defrost system? Check out another mustang....see if it's got them too
