First, the window is safety glass. It wont chip or "birds eye" like a windshield. Whether hit with a small ball-peen hammer in the corner, or a cinder block thrown through the center, the entire piece of glass will shatter into small roundish pieces that are less likely to cut (skin).

And Ive never heard of one breaking under stress. The rubber grommet isolates the glass from the window frame, and would absorb any flex or expansion...99.99% sure something hit it.

hmm I was driving behind my buddy on a dirt road and a rock from my tire shattered his back window, and it was a bumpy road so the next bump made the whole thing fall

I wish this would happen to mine, then I'd have an excuse to get the heated one...
