Junk Swiggle spacer...another attempt at warm edge insulating technology that did not work.

FYI; Awnings over windows can cause breakage failure as well. If there is a portion of the glass shaded and a portion of the same glass not shaded you have two different rates of expansion in the same pane of glass. Most times this fracture is denoted by a crazy and crooked crack (as opposed to stress crack that is sweeping and direct in travel).

If you want to tint the windows, be safe and go with someone that uses 3M film (or other reputable company) and get the warranty.
