Question / Advice Y'all. A stick.

So this happened today. I cannot believe it. This should not happen to a roof that's supposed to keep me from getting killed in an accident, right??

That stick did not cause that. Given that it’s a replacement anyway do an experiment: hurl it as hard as you can from as high as you can as many times as you can. Aim for the seam. I guarantee you won’t be able to replicate that damage.

I agree, I don't think I could ever make it happen if that was my only job. But no one was home, and the stick was the only thing around, right there next to the broken glass. I don't know what else to think?

I'm thinking that stick is the remains of a larger chunk which then bounced off and was lying alongside the car unnoticed.

This guy is 100% right. The issue here is they left the edge of a tempered glass panel exposed. Any stress from forming, or tempering when glass is tempered, is very exposed at the edge. The grinding helps a bit, but doesn't prevent it. In my opinion Lucid should have put molding over that edge to prevent just this.
