Mine popped off twice so far on my 07 denali. Dealer replaced the window both times because they couldn't attach it.

^^^^^ yah its holdin great, but it was warranty.

FYI: The tech said that he sees this quite often. He said that any time he reinstalls one he pulls the coiled wire and stretches it out. He thinks there is too much pressure on it from the factory. My thought it to stretch it out before it breaks, to save the repair bill. Just an idea

The day my warranty expired, yesterday, and on the way home, I notice for the third time this happened again. The first time, the driver side came off and the dealership tech soldered it back on. A few months later, the passenger side cam off. The dealer called in their window company and they fixed that side. And now this. I called and talked to my service provider - since I called on it technically during my warranty they will cover it.

This time though per Chevrolet they have to replace the entire rear window. So when it comes in I will have to waste 1/2 day off work to get it done. I tell you - I had a 97 Tahoe before for 10 years that had hardly a problem and I can't tell you how many problems with one has had in the 3 years I have owned it since new. They just don't make them like they used to.
