Driving out of a parking lot, only 10 mph or so, loud pop on passenger side door. Stopped the vehicle, and passenger window dropped down into the door. Grateful I was not going fast and had the ability to stop quickly, otherwise potential accident. Looking online, can see this is a frequent problem with this year, make, model truck. A matter of time before someone gets hurt from this.
