Side sliding window blowing out.

Never thought I should check for cracks before I run my machine, but from now on I will. Side slider window blew out on me and scared the crap out of me when I was loading my truck today. The vibrations from traveling on pavement must have done it. 178 dollars later I have one on the way for Monday. There goes todays profits......

That's one thing i'd never think about either....
Hopefully it won't happen again though!

Figured out what cracked my glass today. There isn't a stop on the window preventing it from hitting a bolt on the lapbar bracket, and constant hitting it against it cracked the plastic protector on the end of the window, which in turn compromised the window. I just put a self taper and a piece of old rubber belt as a stop preventing the window from sliding too far.
