   Rear window spontaneously shattered. The weather was very cold and snowing. I used the rear defroster to melt off the snow. I went inside a retail store for about a hour and when I returned to my suv I found my rear window shattered. There was no damage to the rear hatch or signs of trying to break in the SUV. I turned this in on my insurance.
