1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2010

I own a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext. 2 weeks ago I opened the rear gate and the rear glass exploded over my head. Had glass and spoiler repaired by glass CO. With new parts. Today the same thing happened after I opened the tail gate and was walking away. Seems to be a bad design flaw by Chevrolet. Do I fix it again not knowing the cause? are there any other complaints?.
