    That happens when the glad hand slapps it because it wasn't disconnected while unhooking. Even if it doesn't break immediately, it wi weaken the glass to where a few temperature cycles will finish it off.

    I used to have rocks shatter them. Pulled a drop deck flat, and one tire was exposed. Told the company what was happening, needed fenders installed.

    Got a blank stare, and told "too much money". So replace the back glass twice a year, and you would have paid for the fenders.....

    Check to make sure your seat isn't putting pressure on it.

    Had a driver break the back glass in a box truck that way.
