That happened to a buddy of mine last year. Just going down a trail and BOOM it just came out and shattered. Don't know if it shattered and came out or vice-versa.

Not a design flaw, it worked exactly as designed. You twisted the body, and instead of shattering and spraying glass all over the inside of the rig, the glass popped out. Your rig was not designed for the type of wheeling most of us do. They require lots of modification to make them truly off-road capable. They are designed to be more capable that most other SUV's, out there, but they are still a street vehickle. That's why serious wheelers, cage and reinforce thier rigs, and remove the glass.

Thats quite interesting. Didnt know that kind of thing was a safety feature.
