Mine were cracked also. I got replacements at e-bay without any cracks. Before installing I reinforced them since they all break at the same damn spot. So far theyre fine. I also try not to lower the window all the way down. This puts a lot of stress into the panels.

It would fail if we brought GM to court as it doesnt provide any negligence. There is no direct or indirect harm to owner/passengers or surrounding people. Now, if it greatly decreased the ablity to stop a T bone hit from coming into you, when maybe that would be enough negligence..But since its a coupe it relies on the body for that, not the interior...
