I was driving a Toyota 2004 Corolla on the highway @ 60 mph. All the car windows were open. There were no other cars/trucks near the car. I pushed the button to close the windows. The driver side window went up to approx. 6" from the top of the window and stopped. I pushed the button to turn it down. The window returned down. I again pushed the button to close the window. As the window was raised to apprrox 6" from the top, the glass exploded. I drove directly to the Toyota dealer who said sometimes this happens and was not able to give a reason for the occurrence. The window was replaced. I am afraid to touch the window as when the glass exploded, my hand was cut, some of the glass was in my lap. I was wearing sunglasses which I think provided some protection. When I saw the back of the car there was glass on the floor and back seat. Fortunately, I didn't panic when the glass exploded. I am frightened to think of the serious consequences if I did. Are there any reasons for this type of occurrence" there wasn't any unusual sound when I pushed the window buttons. Is there a problem w the Toyota 2004 Corolla" thank you for your help.
