    Seeing it from VW point of view, you could have broken it as well, i rock could have damaged it etc etc.

    Also, ACA is a joke.

      Breaking it yourself, you would see an impact mark - it is evident that an impact hasn't occurred.

      As well as the glass exploding from the internal side of the car indicates there there was a fault with the glass or surrounds.

          But any bad publicity for VWA would be an issue for them.

          Also you can see it is a internal explosion not one where throwing a rock would cause this crack

            Unfortunately the reality is that these are the joys of buying a 2nd hand car. Although, truth be told - even if the car was newer and under its "new car warranty", it would be interesting to see if VW would accept this as a warranty repair or not.

                Just as an aside I was on a VW forum the other day and there was an instance of this happening overseas so maybe it is a bit more widespread than just Australia. Here it is In TEXAS
