Yep Its sure did yesterday!
cruising up the I-25 (Denver to the Fort)
I felt a cold draft, turned down the radio, heard the wind from the back window got over in the slow lane and started slowing, could see the window vibrating in the rear view mirror , then it just sucked/blew out. the bottom part kind stuck so it just slammed on the trunk and shattered in to a billion pieces.

So here is the questions. Will the back window from my 87 5000CS TQ fit in my 89 200TQ ?
I got one quote for $550 just for the glass, another place had to call the stealer.
Dose anyone have any BTDTs on pulling the glass out of the 87? 
I was thinking soaking some lacquer thinner around the window to soften the glue then slowly pry/push it out. Maybe use a heat gun too.
Plan to take the window to an installer to get it put back in professionally like.
