I WAS WASHING THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIFTED UP THE W/S WIPER ELEMENT SUPERSTRUCTURE AND THE WIPER ARM DISLODGED AND SMACKED AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD UPON IMPACT. THE WIPERS (BOTH SIDES) OPERATED NORMALLY AND WE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A VERY RAINY VACATION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANY ABNORMAL OPERATIONS NOR INSTALLATIONS. I BELIEVE WIPER SUPERSTRUCTURES ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY INSTALLED ONTO THE WIPER ARMS UNTIL CERTAIN PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETED TO DISASSEMBLE, ONE OF WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LIFTING UP FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO AID CLEANING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY GETTING WASHED.

AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM ON THURSDAY, 09/12/2013, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON ROUTE 288 IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. MY WIFE AND I HEARD GLASS BREAKING BUT WE WERE UNSURE OF THE SOURCE. WE HEARD IT AGAIN AND MY WIFE (PASSENGER SEAT) OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER AND OBSERVED SHATTERED GLASS. WHEN WE GOT HOME APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER WE TOOK A PHOTO. WE DID NOT OBSERVE A ROCK OR FOREIGN OBJECT IN THE SHATTERED GLASS. THIS DAY WAS A HOT DAY AND AS THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN A COLD FRONT WITH THUNDERSTORMS DROPPED THE TEMPERATURE (BUT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT). *TR

I WAS STANDING ON MY FRONT PORCH, VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND MY REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THE WEATHER WAS DECENT, MID 60'S. SO IT WASN'T EXTREMELY COLD OR EXTREMELY HOT. I LIVE ON THE END OF A CUL-DE-SAC. NOTHING WAS AROUND IT, NOONE WAS AROUND, NOTHING HIT IT. IT JUST SHATTERED, BLEW GLASS BOTH INSIDE THE VAN AND OUTSIDE THE VAN. THANKFULLY NOONE WAS STANDING BEHIND IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR
