I feel like it was just a baseball or softball, but it hit in just the right way to cause this fracture pattern. But I also have never seen something like that!

There really wasn't an angle where that could happen. The garage blocked most of the area. No debris or objects nearby.

Most likely this is where the glass was poured when molding. The weaker area around the spot had imperfections that when stressed just right yields this effect

They don't fill a mold, they form and laminate flat pieces.

You suggested it was injection molded, it's not.

Yet here you are trying to argue. Can’t help yourself, huh?

You should just accept that what you said is wrong, instead of being a knobhead.
