lycianzer Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I was sitting in a parking lot waiting on someone when my side mirror detonated. I think it was from the defrost from the A pillar hitting half of the mirror since the windows were halfway down. Link to comment
Rafi Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Was it incredibly cold outside and then it got ht with a sudden blast of hot air? That's crazy. Link to comment

Moto Bro Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Extreme temperatures will crack glass, I'm guessing it was super cold? Link to comment
lycianzer Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I was actually parked with the defrost on in a 98 camaro with the windows halfway down. About 25% of the mirror was exposed to the heat from the defrost out of the car, and the other part of the mirror was in around 30F temperatures. Right before it exploded this is what i basically heard: crack, crack, clunk, boom. I thought a tire blew out but it was the mirror. I'll post a photos below from my cellphone. I'm on my pc.

lycianzer Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Don't mind the dirty paint. I live in a secluded spot that I can never keep the car clean. Edited December 3, 2020 by lycianzer weird imgur links after post Link to comment
Brimes Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It blew out the plastic as well? Never seen something like that. Link to comment
Hess Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Wow, glad it didn't blow into your door and damage the paint or anything. Link to comment
Gods Pure68 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 nope never had it happen Link to comment
lycianzer Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 It didn't damage the paint, but there are shards of glass embedded in the passenger window. Might have to replace it if it starts to spider crack. Link to comment
