I have a 2004 ford escape the rear window blew out while the car was parked. This is the second time on the escape that this has happened to me personally. I have numerous friends that have had the same problem with these rear windows. I wonder if there is a design flaw with the rear window? Very dangerous. I have the window company coming to replace another window. *tr
