Rear Panoramic Roof Glass Breaking

Rear Panoramic Roof Glass Breaking
I have an 06 tc, with a tein basic coilover set installed and the other day I was driving and the back panoramic roof glass(over the back seats) shattered. I don't know if something somehow flew up and hit the galss to cause it to shatter or if this is a design flaw etc. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know my car is lower and the suspension is a lot stiffer but I can't imagine that would have caused just the back roof window to break. Any thoughts comments would be great.
Thanks

the car frame wouldnt flex enough to break any glass, so i doubt your suspension would cause it. you would know if your coil was missing any thing when you drive. where were you driving, could anybody have shot it with a pallet gun. take it to the dealer and tell them but dont go tellyng them about your car being worked on a couple days ago, see what happens

it takes a small flaw and a few stresses to cause the galss to shatter
i've seen it happen a few times.. most from temperature stresses and some flaw that was in the glass already or a flaw that was put there by accident.
the body does flex quite alot.. so that can't be ruled out completely.

Thanks for the input! I figured it had something to do with some kinda of flaw. I have had my coilovers on for at least 3 months now and they are running good. No noises or shifting or anything. Sorry I don't have any pics for you guys, but you can imagine just a big hole of shattered glass on that rear piece of glass. Off to the dealer tommorrow, cross your fingers. Thanks again.

I already have the greddy front and rear strut tower braces. However I just found out that something did hit the glass, and it had nothing to do with any flex of the suspension etc. I actually found the spot where something hit leveing a little hole and what looked like a bullet exit wound on the under side of the glass. Stupid trucks and there dumb cargo, take the 5 minutes to wash out your ____ before you go home.
Off to insurance I go.
