Re: Rear windscreen shredded with no reason

Wow thats quite a bad shatter..

Btw my fc is 12-13km/l for my new 316i. On 2nd full tank now. 1 full tank can go about 700-750km.

Fully stock car..

That means yours is 8.33l/100km... but mine is 8.33km/l.... that is kind of huge differences. Did you use the auto start stop function? I disabled it most of the time because I am worry about the starter will be gone fast....

I don't even have a chance to fill my 2nd full tank due to the shattered windscreen.

U found the root cause?

Found some explanation online, most of them said caused by micro crack during glass fabrication....

Re: Rear windscreen shredded with no reason

Same happened to me previously, since car is new, most likely reason i think is due to manufacturing defect (a nickel sulfide (or other) inclusion is a not-uncommon manufacturing defect).

For cars no manufacturers, few will own up since the likelihood of something hitting you is high and you will never be able to prove now that everything is in "pieces" literally. Count towards 1 claim on your insurance windscreen replacement. Hope you have good luck for the next 12 month else it will eat into your NCD.

Windscreen replacement will "eat" into your NCD? Is this another new policy?
