Exploded roof light

[fizz wizz]

We have owned our MOBILVETTA design Admiral K6.5 for less than 2 months and only slept in it 3 times so far.
We parked our van in its shed on Sunday evening and by Monday morning the sky light at the front of the van had imploded, has anyone else had this happen (no accident or stone chip)

I'm surprised it's tempered glass instead of the usual plastic.
Must have had manufacturing internal stresses for it to shatter.

Along them lines but body stresses from differing parking/travelling pot holes etc, would that transfer enough stress to shatter?

Possibly a stone chip and it didn't shatter at the time but later with body flexing.

Were there huge temperature differences - baking in the sun to cooling down in a shed? Shouldn't happen of course but wonder if that could have contributed.
