Narrative

While driving on a highway at +70 mph, the rear window shattered inward, with such force that it sounded like a shotgun had discharged. I did not stop, because literally thought I may have been shot at. The window shattered with such force that the plastic molding around the rear speakers were sliced by the glass. Thank goodness no one was in the back seat, my wife and I were both covered in glass fragments, including small shards of glass. The Ford dealership stated the glass must have been faulty.
