I can't catch a f'in break (well, I guess technically I did). I installed the seal and then latched the window for the first time, and it cracked shortly thereafter. The latches aren't even that tight. The passenger side is fine. A short while later, a second crack appeared, moving right-to-left, but I can't get a good picture of it. At least they're not the cheap tempered glass, which would be all over the floor by now.

Here's an idea I had to attach the sliders to the windows - I used a stainless steel binding post bolt. $8 for 20 of them on Amazon.
