Hello, I went out to go to work this morning. Got in the jeep and just as I turned to look out the back glass, the jeep was Not in motion, the back glass exploded. It shattered in small pieces from the inside out. It left shattered pieces around the perimeter of the window, but I have no idea why. There was nothing to create the issue.

Glass sometimes breaks, it happens in all makes/models/years. Hopefully your insurance covers autoglass repair

Have you looked at your dash to see if there is a 9mm hole anywhere? Kidding aside, safety glass of that type is dramatic when it breaks. WHen my sunroof blew it scared me silly.
