While backing up into my carport last night

Did the beeping not work?

It did but there is usually more space to go and i back it up as much as possible so that the front end isn’t sticking out into the driveway

Wow, that sucks man! I see you still have the new tag! How long have you had the car? Insurance will definitely fix.

3 weeks

:damn:

Ouch!

Was it the wiper that made contact with a wall, and pushed in the glass? Or did the composite hatch flex enough to pop the glass? :scratch:

Im not really sure i think the wiper pushing on the glass because thats the first thing it touches, ive tapped it briefly before but this time even though i was backing up slowly I wasn’t paying attention and it popped

UGH! Glass can be relatively easily replaced, just parts replacement. Painted areas would have required a visit to body shop and paint work. I think you got off easily considering!

Don't forget that the entire rear door assembly is largely non-metallic, so "dent" repair is not on the menu. Likewise the rear bumper cover is non-metallic and is one piece around the entire rear from wheel well to wheel well. I dinged mine 6 days after taking delivery. High tuition in the school of life!

Chocks

I have a pair of these in my garage. You can anchor them but you don't have to, and I didn't. They stay put. The beeping goes increasingly nuts, right to flatline. I butt up to them, foot on the brake, Reverse, then Park. The car backs off from them about an inch.

Great idea

The point of contact seems to be the wiper because all of the cracks spread from there... Atleast you didn't bend your hatch!
