While backing from driveway our rear windshield shattered (with popping sound). Car had been in shaded area with air conditioning on full before I put van in reverse gear. The time was approximately 1 pm on hot sunny day. When new windshield was installed it was discovered the wiper motor assembly near base of wiper shaft was cracked. On a Honda odessey van the rear window wiper shaft is installed through hole in windshield and the motor assembly was housed inside liftgate.
