Last fall or so, I changed out a window that had been cracked when I got the truck 4 years ago. I replaced it and the drivers side window that was fogging at the edges from age, also. Anyway, today when I rolled up the passenger window, I found a crack. I got these from Classic Parts, and I thought since they use two ply glass as the old ones did, they'd be good for another few decades if I treated them right. This truck is my daily driver and the door is solid and gets minimal use(Grocery trips, the dog sometimes), but nothing much. It's even got a new rubber door seal since last fall, so it's not banging on anything. Is this a common problem with new glass? I mean, the glass is priced right, but I'd rather pay more and not have to do the re-work. Sort of like the time a buddy told me how much he loved Auto Zone and their 'life-time warranty' after he'd taken back 3 starters that failed, in a row. I commented that they may pay for the bad parts they shouldn't have sold him, but who pays for all that time your under the hood cussing for having to do the same job twice. Or 3 times. Is it best just to find a local glass guy to duplicate these windows, or can they even get this type of glass in the states anymore? Thanks for any feedback on this.
