HELP ADVICE NEEDED Rear window shattered
I just got off the phone with my brother who informed me tha this rear window on his 97 C5 coupe shattered when the water hose nozzle tapped it. I can't believe these would shatter into pieces. Anyone have a similar experience and if so how costly is the replacement???

Ouch... Sorry to hear that 
Auto glass it designed to do that when hit in certain areas (like the lower corners). It's a safety feature so firemen can break it more easily in case you're trapped inside.
Not sure what cost is, but good luck on the replacement. As far as cost, maybe check with your insurance company? See if they'll cover it under comprehensive?

Little Tap
Very common way to shatter auto glass.
Hope it works out.
NEVER tap or hit with a pointed, hard object on side or rear windows. They will shatter immediately
