Default Rear Window blew out

I havn't been here in a while but i wanted to let you folks know about my day. I came back from lucnh and the back window of my Tc just blew outward for some strange reason so...
I traded it in today for a new black 2008 xB.

The first thing i need to do is get some new rims and tires to replace these hubcaps and maybe a sway bar, grill and K&N filter...

I very much like the xB's looks and it drives great.

Any suggestions are welcome.. tks

the heat got to it.. I could see it blew outward .. and far and wide.... all over the whole car including the front of the car.

I do like my new black xB. One thing i really like is that itty bitty arm rest.

Some one I hope will make an upgrade for that.. longer and wider please.

did you happen to have a lighter in your car anywhere? I dont care what Myth Busters says... it happened to me once.. a lighter exploded in my car and it was a pretty big boom and alarm went off.. i didnt know it was even my car .. then i went out to eat later that evening, got in my car... tiny pieces of plastic everywhere!! it shredded it! it cracked my rearview mirror!!!! (Honda Accord)

who knows what happened to yours.. but yes the heat sucks.. now we both have black cars.. HAHA great for heat huh??? oh well. at least the AC works great in the xB!

I found out today what cause the rear window to blow out of my TC
I found a can of air - you know the one to blow the dust off your keyboard... it was in the back and it blew the top off it.
it says right on the can- 'Do Not leave in Direct Sunlight'
My bad!!
