Subject:      Sliding window keeps breaking - '85 GL
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

The sliding window in the door of our '85 GL has broken three times in three
years.  No apparent reason for any of the breaks: twice while driving, once
while opening the door - gently.  The glass and body shops are stumped.  The
door is straight and true, as is the aluminum window frame.  The last
replacement pane (2 square feet of flat, tempered tinted glass with two
small holes for the latch) cost $280.  It's a $100 insurance claim to us,
but a senseless waste of money nonetheless.

We were wondering if any list members have had similar experiences.

We are going to try having a laminated pane made; so far it sounds cheaper
than our $100 deductible!
