“I am requesting any defect information on the rear windshield of my 2000 New Beetle gls. On returning to my locked car on lunch break I found the whole back windshield was shattered in a puffed out direction (no main stress crack). Since it is safety glass it remained intact (I have several pictures). The car had been left still for 3 hours.I contacted both dealership and zone customer service for volkswagon to report this and they say they never heard of such a thing ever happening. …”
