Body problem

I was approaching a red light on a road that is 35mph. As I was coming to a stop my passenger side window shattered out of nowhere. There were no people around outside the vehicle and as I mentioned I was going so slow, I can't imagine any rock kicked up would have done this. There was glass everywhere in my car. Fortunately no one was in the passenger seat. There was a small amount of glass on my lap as the driver, but I was unharmed. I brought the car to the dealer. They did an inspection and cannot explain it other than saying maybe a rock hit it. They pointed out a very small dent in the door of the car, but that had been there previously. The rupture point was also closer to the top of the window (the windows were closed at the time of the incident), not where they workman pointed to. I asked the dealer to inspect the driver window when they replaced the shattered window. There were no warning lights to indicate this might happen. The car has been repaired so I can use it, but I have lots of pictures of what happened and the inspection video from the dealer.
