The passenger side rear door window breaks when the window is down for no reason. I have had to replace it 4 times in the last 60 days.

Premature rear section of brake line rust out 2001 chevy Suburban.
Driving at 65 mph down the interstate, suddenly the sunroof glass separated from the frame and flew away into the road behind us. The inside sun shade was also sucked out. The sunroof was closed at the time. The frame and motor are intact and still operate normally. Sunroof was made by vermeulen-hollandia, model: tvs s/n 461569. There is a recall on 2002-up models from them but not for this serial number. Company name is now webasto.
The bolts that hold the exhaust manifolds down are breaking off at the heads and causing exhaust leaks. Which are in turn causing my catalytic converters fail prematurely. I hope gm fixes this massive problem with there LS v8 engines!.
