Four problems related to side/rear glass have been reported for the 1999 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving down the interstate window on the driver's side door exploded and shattered into millions of pieces of glass. Some of the glass cut my husband's (he was driving) face and arms. The temperature does not seem to have been a factor, as it was only 80f. Since purchasing the vehicle, the front windows have always had a problem with their seals. We have always experienced a whistling sound coming from the windows when we travel on the interstate. We think the poor seal construction may have been a factor.
There appears to be a defect in the temperlite glass on four of the windows described. It is inside the two panes of glass with no apparant cracks in glass or molding. The inside of the glass, or the adhesive material used in between the glass is bubbling which causes poor vision. The vehicle is currently inoperable because of fear of poor visibility. I have notified Honda and am providing them with a letter of liability and informing them that I will be contacting several consumer safety administrations and commissions since they refuse to correct the problem under my extended warranty purchased for the vehicle. This is a severe problem which seems to be possibly caused by some type of contamination or vapors present when the glass was constructed, stored, or installed in the vehicle.
