I found that the problem may have been the installation besides maybe the glass. Mine cracked in two places in two days, both on the drivers side. We found that the side mount bars were pulled out to the cowl without any shims and that put the glass and frame in stress. We put more than 1/4 inch on one side and about 1/8th on the other side of the new glass. ID on the glass was the same on the replacement as on the original. New glass with proper installation seems to be OK (knock on wood, as others have said).

Some dealers were/are not using the supplied aluminum frame and purchasing the brass (with glass) from other vendors.
