A6 Avant rear windscreen PLEASE HELP!

So i went out to my car 2 days ago to find that my rear screen seemed to have ‘exploed’ right around the outside of the glass. Has anyone else seen this or had this happen to them? It was not particularly frosty. Just amazed that this can hapen to a car less than 2 years old!

Any advice would be great.

thanks

I would say a trip to the dealer is in order as I would suspect it to be detective from the factory. Consumer reports just did a story on panoramic sunroofs exploding but this is the rear window. Good luck and please report back.

Obviously you are not in North America. No C7 Avants were imported here. I have heard of no such issues with C6 Avant rear glass.. Is the car not under warranty? Its a thousand dollar USD part. See an auto glass specialist.
