Problem overview

Some Mitsubishi Galant owners report experiencing unexpected shattering of the driver's side window, which may be attributed to issues such as a window regulator cable jumping or slipping off its plastic tracking roller, creating pressure that can lead to glass breakage. Additionally, temperature fluctuations, where high heat is followed by a sudden drop in temperature, are also reported as a common cause of window shattering. Furthermore, some owners have encountered spontaneous glass breakage, where tempered glass shatters without any apparent cause. To prevent these incidents, it is crucial for owners to seek professional assistance to diagnose and repair any window regulator cable issues and ensure proper installation of replacement windows.
