2018 Ford F-150 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“The truck had been parked in my driveway and I went out to get something out of it. I closed the driver door like normal and the rear window blew out upon closing. The ambient air was probably 72 degrees and it was around 8pm. The trucks interior was the same as ambient temperature. Furthermore, it does not have a rear defroster.”

Window was fine when parked 8 hours before. This sat where no one or anything could hit it behind my house. Dealer said it my insurance's problem.”

Upon close inspection I noticed 99% of the glass in the bed and of truck and a few very small particles on the rear headrests. …”
