I understand that crazy things can happen to any make/model, but the idea that a window (I'm still not clear if it was one of the port windows or the rear glass in this case) just fell out and into the back seat of a car is waaayyy out there. I've done a few restorations in my day and in the process had to remove a lot of factory glass. It is not an easy thing to do when you are trying to get it out, let alone something that could just work itself loose and fall out. It is also something that could not be missed by QC before the car ever rolled out of the factory. That's why I think in this particular case, perhaps the guy was making it up just to justify getting rid of the car for something he felt was better.

That and the comments regarding the "dangerous" rust on a brand new car makes me think that he tends to exaggerate for effect. I know you are only repeating what you were told, so I'm not calling you a liar by any means.
