My 2008 Santa Fe ltd that suffered a loss of the left rear quarter glass, including the frame molding, while driving on the freeway a few days ago. The glass company stated that it appeared to have actually break off of the bolts and simply fly off the vehicle. The only thing left on the vehicle was the urethane adhesive, which was stretched out around the back of the quarter panel. Another interesting note is that while inspecting the right rear quarter glass, it appears to be suffering from the same phenomenon, and may come off at any time. I contacted the dealership, which informed me that my auto is out of warranty and that there are no recalls for this issue at this time. Considering that my auto insurance deductible is $500, I was forced to pay for the replacement out of pocket for $338.55.

Driving ~10-15 mph in public park, 2 kids in carseats in back seat. Weather was rainy. I had just turned on the rear window defroster for defog about 4-5 minutes prior. Sudden loud "boom" and rear/back window exploded, sending shards of glass into passenger compartment. There were no other people or cars around the outside of the vehicle, and I had not recently opened the rear hatch/door.
