Sliding rear window melted plastic

Cb2001 · February 11, 2020

Anyone ever seen this? Smell burning plastic in the cab and then found this.

Well thats a new one. With the way those lines are running above the slider, maybe an issue with the defroster?

Either way please let us know what the dealer says. With the water leak issues and now this, not very encouraging with these rear glass issues

did you park on the sunny side of a mirrored glass building?

I agree maybe superman missed his target?

Seriously though what in the heck could cause that, it goes from the bottom of the third brake light and continues past the slider section of glass and to the bottom frame portion.

Very interesting to say the least.

Does everything still work? [Brake Lite, Window Defrost, Power Slider, Rear View Camera]

Everything still works. Got this pic of another truck doing same thing.

That doesn’t look like a T1 slider though...

Not a T1 Silverado or GMC there's no rear cab spoiler. I also like to know why the lines are angled to the left and other picture there angled to the right.

Exactly what it looks like to me. Intense reflection of a shiny surface focused heat. I've seen vinyl siding on homes similarly melted by the the Sun reflecting off window glass.
