I was wondering if anyone has an experience with the back side passenger window shattering without a cause? I've spoken to 2 other people who own different years and their windows have just shattered with no cause. My back side passenger window did this in a parking lot. Can anyone advise?

EXACTLY the same shattering happened on our 2005 Yukon XL Denali in our garage (garage door was open at the time); I went by and noticed shards of the darkened glass everywhere. Looked this up and such is not uncommon on all types of vehicles (I remember my tennis partner having rear window glass shattering on a few-month old Honda back in the 1980s.

We were fortunate, had glass coverage on the Yukon's policy as included in its comprehensive, so the glass was replaced at no charge by a local company, have no idea the out of pocket cost would be though. If no insurance, call around and request the CASH price, significantly lower than what the charge auto insurers. In my locale, common for windshield replacement companies to hand $100 cash to owner when insurance covers the repair, have had that done 3 times total.

I'll second Cusser. Any window can break for no reason. Thermal expansion, hidden defect from when it was made, mounting issues, lots of possibilities.
