Mr Pink

This morning as usual I auto start my Ex from inside my house to have it warm up for a few mins before I drive it.
After about 3 mins of having the Ex running, I then get into the car close the door and a few seconds later my back window just blows out for no reason.
Anyone have any experience or have heard of this happening before?
Ford is closed today, so I'll be there bright and early tomorrow.
I'm located in so cal, weather was about 60* when window blew out.
Any info please.
Thanks

There is a history of vehicles equipped with the panoramic sunroofs shattering but to a lesser extent but thankfully no one was injured during the incident..
Due setup an intro @ your earliest convenience. Thanks .  Z

Back windows have shattered on the Edge from time to time, have not heard of it on the X yet tho.  On the most recent MYs for the Edge, they blame the rear defrost heater connection and have a CSP 17B39 out to replace the glass if it does break.

"In Canada they put a lot of salt on road and the melting snow or ice with the salt can enter in the rear wiper motor and it become very hot

The rear window is at external temperature below zero and the motor is hot result that the rear glass broke with the difference of temperature between both sides

The repair is to remove the rear wiper motor, clean it and the axle to remove all trace of salt, install a new bushing in the rear window with silicon grease  reinstall the motor and with the silicon grease and the new bushing the salt and water will no longer enter in the motor"

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
