I used to work in a glass shop for about 3 years. Its rare but it does happen. Its more seen when the windshield has been replaced before. Prior to the installation, If you dont clean and properly prime the pinchweld and glass, the urethane(the glue) will actually pull up after awhile. Mostly from shutting the doors, bumps in the road, cabin pressure, etc..

Default 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Windshield Loose

Mine too, with 33K miles when I slam the doors the air pulse pops the windshield. Makes a loud rattle. Loose at top pushing inside. I got a mobile repair coming out today to reseal the windshield. $65. Everyone I called said glass may crack coming out.
