1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2012

I had by back hatch open and I grabbed the door handle to close it. I pulled it down and as I pulled it down I hear a pop and all the glass shattered down on me with the door still open up in the air. Three weeks later I replaced the window. (not a cheap glass almost $1000 with labor to replace) the mechanic opened and closed the door and the hatch to test for defects. All went well. I went to close the door so that I can leave the mechanic shop and I heard the pop and the glass shattered again. GMC has no recalls for the 2006 chevy Trailblazer ext LS and I have to go get this back window again. This is a great truck just don't know what is wrong with this back window. Ughhhh!.
