Default spontaneous windows busting out??

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone with a newer model truck. My wife's 2015 expedition blew out 2 windows last night by themselves with no other drivers in sight. Of course, it was raining, too.

No a new truck, but had it happen on a BMW few years ago. Got in, shut the door and whole rear window exploded! Not a good time to have broken windows here in Houston!!!

Maybe its the sound system causing this? Try a lower volume.

Interesting. I know the acoustic glass is sensitive to crappy tint and that can cause it. Curious if the windows that blew out were tinted? Low grade tint can cause hotspots on the laminate between the acoustic glass and cause it to melt and give a foggy look and in real bad cases, blow out as the glue comes part.

I had 35% ceramic tint put on each window except the windshield. It was at night when this happened and lightly raining.

When you say every window do you also mean you put extra tint on the back?
