To be fair it was not a problem with the MINI, more a case of wrong place wrong time. Driving in traffic and there is a very loud bang and next thing I know I'm covered in glass.

MINI now at the dealers and should be ready tomorrow.

Ouch! How did that happen?

Any idea what caused the glass to break? hit by something i presume?

I suspect that a stone was thrown up by a whipper snipper being used on the central verge as I drove past; can't really prove it but remember seeing a couple of guys working on the verge just as it happened.

Had to google what a whipper snipper is

Sucks but at least it didn't hit bodywork - glass is easily replaced

Had that happen once in a hire car in Cork, rear side window. Couldn't drive away fast enough, thought we'd been shot!
